This study reviewed emergency department electrocardiograms of 223 patients with organophosphate poisoning from January 1982 to June 1994: 97 (43.5%) had QTc prolongation and were placed in group A; 126 patients without QTc prolongation were designated as group B. Compared with group B, group A patients had a higher mortality (19.6% v 4.8%, P < .001) and a higher incidence of respiratory failure (56.7% v 20.6%, P < .001). Serum cholinesterase levels were determined in the 223 patients: 92 (41.3%) were classified as severe poisoning. 32 (14.3%) as moderate, 41 (18.1%) as mild, and 58 (25.7%) as very mild. The severe group had a high incidence of QTc prolongation (P < .001), a high incidence of respiratory failure (P < 0.001), and a higher mortality rate (P < 0.001) than the other groups. Of the QTc prolongation patients, 59.8% (55/92) had a high incidence of respiratory failure (78.2% v 35.1%, P < .0001) and a higher mortality rate (29.1% v 8.1%, P < 0.05) compared with 40.2% (37/92) of the patients without QTc prolongation in the severe group. In conclusion, a complete electrocardiogram at the emergency department is important and of prognostic value.
本研究回顾了1982年1月至1994年6月期间223例有机磷中毒患者的急诊科心电图:97例(43.5%)出现QTc延长,被归入A组;126例无QTc延长的患者被指定为B组。与B组相比,A组患者的死亡率更高(19.6%对4.8%,P<0.001),呼吸衰竭发生率更高(56.7%对20.6%,P<0.001)。测定了223例患者的血清胆碱酯酶水平:92例(41.3%)被归类为重度中毒,32例(14.3%)为中度中毒,41例(18.1%)为轻度中毒,58例(25.7%)为极轻度中毒。重度组QTc延长的发生率较高(P<0.001),呼吸衰竭的发生率较高(P<0.001),死亡率也高于其他组(P<0.001)。在QTc延长的患者中,59.8%(55/92)呼吸衰竭的发生率较高(78.2%对35.1%,P<0.0001),死亡率也高于重度组中无QTc延长的40.2%(37/92)的患者(29.1%对8.1%,P<0.05)。总之,急诊科的完整心电图很重要且具有预后价值。
