AB  - A prospective study of 50 cases of
Organophosphate (OP) compound poisoning with regard
to their ECG changes between October, 2013 to
March, 2015 were reported. Study undertaken to study the
electrocardiographic changes in patients with
organophosphorus compound poisoning a detailed
analysis is carried out based on clinical features, type of
compound, nature of poisoning and requirement of
assisted ventilation in all patients. Lastly, the various
ECG changes in OP compound poisoning and their
association with clinical outcome has been discussed. Out
of the 50 cases included in the study group, 16 were
females and 34 patients were males. The present study
shows significant correlation between prolonged
QTc interval and mortality (p<0.0001) also, a strong
correlation between ST-T changes and mortality
(p = 0.003).
