Abstract:
Objective To study the clinical features and prognostic factors of patients with acute paraquat poisoning.Methods The clinical data of 108 patients with acute paraquat poisoning in Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from June 2013 to June 2015 were collected and followed up for half a year.The clinical features and prognostic factors were analyzed.Results Of 108 patients,about 90.00％ cases were from the rural areas,the married population accounted for 81.48％.Among them,53 people were living,55 cases were dead,and the death rate was 51.00％.The average amount of poison,average hospitalization time,poison to gastric lavage time interval in the survival group were (22.08 ±5.32) mL,(16.5 ± 3.72) d,(2.00 ±0.49) h,respectively,which in the death group were (88.12 ± 14.96) mL,(5.50 ± 1.20) d,(8.56 ± 1.65) h,respectively.The average amount of poison in the death group was far greater than that of the survival group,about 3.6 times,and the average hospitalization time was significantly reduced,only 1/3 of the survival group.The gastric lavage time interval was also lengthened 1.7 times than that of the survival group,the differences were statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05).The proportions of fever,increased serum creatinine,liver function damage and pulmonary fibrosis in the death group were significantly higher than those in the survival group,the differences were statistically significant (x2 =12.20,8.35,8.84,50.68,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Mortality rates are still high in patients with acute paraquat poisoning.The amount of poison is still the key factor of death in patients.Early gastric lavage and blood purification,as soon as possible to clear the poison,as far as possible to reduce the absorption of the toxic chemical and aggressive treatment can significantly improve the prognosis of patients.Early fever,liver and kidney function damage and pulmonary fibrosis may predict the poor prognosis of patients.
