dc.description.abstractThe present study evaluated 103 consecutive patients of organophosphate poisoning with special reference to the need for ventilatory support. Of 103 patients, 36(34.95%) required assisted ventilation. The need for ventilatory support was significantly more with greater time duration for institution of specific treatment, low level of sensorium at admission, pin-point pupils and generalized fasciculations, presence of convulsions, presence of respiratory insufficiency at admission, and higher initial atropine requirement for atropinization. The study also proposes a system of grading of severity, modified from the existing systems proposed.en_US
