This review presents an overview of toxicology and pharmacology of reversible and irreversible acetylcholinesterase inactivating compounds. [doi.org]
Increased sympathetic tone is often initially present, and most patients present with a sinus tachycardia, with or without hypertension. [calpoison.org]
We present a retrospective observational study of severe anticholinesterase insecticide poisoning, with particular reference to mode of presentation and outcome, in children requiring intensive care over a 10 year period. [adc.bmj.com]

- Hypoxemia
Paralysis of the respiratory muscles in combination with bronchorrhea, bronchoconstriction, and CNS depression leads to hypoxemia and respiratory arrest, which is the most common cause of death. [calpoison.org]

- Sputum
His oxygenation continued to fall, and he began coughing up pink-tinged, frothy sputum. He continued to have large amounts of vomiting and diarrhea. [calpoison.org]
Workup
Although dementia remains incurable, early recognition presents the opportunity to start cholinesterase inhibitors before substantial neuronal loss occurs. 3, 4 Patient workup. [mdedge.com]
Treatment
In addition, the pharmacological treatment of intoxication caused by organophosphates is presented, with emphasis on oxime reactivators of the inhibited enzyme activity administering as causal drugs after the poisoning. [doi.org]
DISCUSSION: EEG spectral analysis could be shown to rapidly reflect the cerebral cholinergic action of short-term acetylcholinesterase inhibitor treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology
Epidemiology In 2007, Californians reported over 700 exposures to OP and carbamate pesticides to the CPCS. Nationally, more than 15,000 poisonings with these chemicals are reported to poison control centers each year, with five or six fatalities. [calpoison.org]

Prevention
ACE inhibitor Any of a class of drugs that block the effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme, preventing the formation of angiotensin II and therefore preventing a rise in blood pressure. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
In contrast, ROS production and mitochondrial activity were totally prevented by addition of PMS777 but not galanthamine. PMS777 also inhibits butylcholinesterase and it shows selectivity for acetylcholinesterase. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
