Evaluation of Some Prognostic Factors in Acute Aluminum Phosphide Intoxicated Cases
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
study of some laboratory and clinical findings which may show the severity of aluminium phosphide toxicity and the need of the cases to be admitted to ICU
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |

Detailed Description
aluminium phosphide poisoning is a major cause of death in intoxicated and suicidal cases since there is no antidote and there is no specific investigation for it so there is a need for further study to identify the cause of death and the most specific investigation in the case of AlP toxicity
