Pralidoxime for organophosphate poisoning
The Lancet, 2006 From their randomised trial, Kirti Pawar and colleagues report in today's Lancet on two pralidoxime-dosing schemes in 200 patients who had moderately severe self-poisoning with organophosphorus insecticide.1 After a 2-g loading dose over 30 min, half received a high-dose regimen of 1 g/h pralidoxime iodide for 48 h. The other half received a lower dose:
