• Gastric Lavage

  If the patient/victim’s condition can be evaluated within 30 minutes after ingestion, in a hospital setting, consider gastric lavage. Gastric contents should be considered potentially hazardous and should be quickly isolated. [cdc.gov]

• Bronchorrhea

  Intubation may be necessary in cases of respiratory distress due to laryngospasm, bronchospasm, bronchorrhea, or seizures. Immediate aggressive use of atropine may eliminate the need for intubation. [openanesthesia.org]

  Nerve agents cause death via respiratory failure, which in turn is caused by increased airway resistance (bronchorrhea, bronchoconstriction), respiratory muscle paralysis, and most importantly, loss of central respiratory drive. [10] Two chemical properties [emedicine.medscape.com]

  Atropine : If bronchorrhea develops, atropine (2 mg in an adult; 20 microgram/kg in a child) should be administered intravenously every 5–10 minutes until secretions are minimal and the patient is atropinized (dry skin and sinus tachycardia). [cryptome.org]

• Abdominal Cramps

  cramps; epigastric and substernal tightness with “heartburn” and eructation; diarrhoea; tenesmus; involuntary defecation Increased/excessive sweating Increased/excessive salivation Increased/excessive lacrimation Bradycardia Slight miosis, occasionally [emro.who.int]

  Atropine also blocks other effects of poisoning, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping, low heart rate, and sweating. Atropine, however, does not prevent or reverse paralysis. [emedicinehealth.com]

• Hypersalivation

  Atropine sulfate blocks the muscarinic effects of acetylcholine that cause bronchorrhoea, hypersalivation, bronchoconstriction and bradycardia, thereby reducing these effects. [emro.who.int]

• Foaming at the Mouth

  Excessive acetylcholine corroborates what has been reported and seen in the videos taken just after the attack, including uncontrolled salivation that will cause "foaming at the mouth," vomiting, tearing, involuntary defecation and urination, tiny pinpoint [tonic.vice.com]

• Neglect

  The many challenges confronting healthcare systems include: Operation at near-capacity much of the time, with severely limited ability to absorb the increasing burdens of potential public health issues Serious neglect of the public health system for many [books.google.de]

Workup Approach Considerations Although no laboratory test exists to directly measure nerve agent levels in serum or urine, the acute effects of nerve agents can be estimated by measuring the percent reduction in the activity of red blood cell (RBC) cholinesterase [emedicine.medscape.com]

All the nerve agents cause their toxic effects by preventing the proper operation of the chemical that acts as the body’s “off switch” for glands and muscles. Without an “off switch,” the glands and muscles are constantly being stimulated. [nationalterroralert.com]
