[Standardized forced diuresis and peritoneal dialysis in the therapy of organophosphorous poisoning (author's transl)].

In a case of severe poisoning with the organophosphorous insecticide methidathione standardized forced diuresis and peritoneal dialysis were performed for the first time in addition to the usual therapeutical procedures (e.g. repeated gastric lavage, induced diarrhea, atropine and intensive care). The course of the illness as well as the duration of the acute phase were significantly shorter than in comparable cases. No hazardous situation occurred after the first hours of treatment. The presence of the organophosphorous cholinesterase inhibitor or of its metabolites in the urine and the dialysate was proved by thin-layer chromatography.
