- Objective: We aimed at the identification of organophosphate poisoning impact in tertiary healthcare subjects. Methods: This research was carried out at Allied Hospital, Faisalabad (Sept, 16 to October, 17) on the ICU hospitalised cases. Results: Mortality rate was (17.39%) from 483 subjects; eighty-four deaths excluding referred cases. From these eighty-four causalities, sixty-five (13.46 percent) passed away owing to cardio respiratory failure. Mechanical ventilation complications & infections acquires in the stay of ICU caused deaths of seventeen subjects (3.52 %). Renal failure was responsible for 2 deaths (0.41 %). Deliberate self-harm /suicidal intention was the major cause of poisoning (93.02 %; female: 57.07 %; male: 35.95 %). Deaths on account of unintentional/accidental exposure were seen in males with the percentage of 6.98. The salient ingredients to avoid the Organophosphate poisoning deaths are sufficient amount of pralidoxime and atropine doses, intensive supportive treatment and accurate and proper respiratory care. Conclusion: Intoxication of Organophosphate Poisoning (OPP) is widespread in the women. Effortless access to such dangerous compounds is the main cause of deaths by either deliberate suicidal attempt or by accidental exposure.
