Manejo de emergencia en intoxicación por plaguicidas
description
The use of pesticides has produced great agricultural benefits and, at the same time, serious public health problems that require solution. To highlight the economic importance of the pesticide industry in the world, it is enough to point out that the global sales of the 20 main producing companies exceeded three million tons and that their turnover amounted to US $ 21 billion at the beginning of this decade. Numerous studies have demonstrated the production of acute pesticide poison-ing in humans in various parts of the world. Some studies estimate that the annual number of acute pesticide poisonings ranges between 500,000 and 1,528,000 and that each year there are 3,000 to 28,000 deaths from this cause. The statistics indicate that poisonings constitute 2.5 to 3% of the cases treated in emergencies. And of the total of intoxicated patients, 28% correspond to organophosphates and of these 15% die because they do not have immediate access to a health area and receive timely care. The research methodology is a bibliographic review, which has been supported by electronic media such as Google Scholar, PubMed, among others, where information from different research works has been found, which addresses the issue raised here. Among some of the conclusions they highlight that pesticide poisoning can be fatal, regardless of which way the person has had contact with it. Some of the symptoms that may occur are respiratory distress, dyspnea, eye and skin irritation, bradycardia, among others. That is why the initial assessment made in the health center by the medical staff plus the information that the family members, co-workers, of the intoxicated person about the type of pesticide can provide can be decisive for the rapid approach regarding the administration of the most appropriate treatment. Treatment will depend on the degree of intoxication, however, among the types of treatment is the use of Atro-pine and Oximins, placement of nasogastric tubes and gastric lavage, administration of activated charcoal, among others.

Para destacar la importancia económica de la industria de los plaguicidas en el mundo, basta señalar que las ventas mundiales de las 20 principales compañías productoras sobrepasaron los tres millones de toneladas y que su facturación ascendió a US$ 21 000 millones a inicios de la presente década. Numerosos trabajos han demostra-do la producción de intoxicaciones agudas por plaguicidas en seres humanos en diversos lugares del mundo. Calculan algunos estudios que el número anual de intoxicaciones agudas por plaguicidas oscila entre 500 000 y 1 528 000 y que cada año se producen de 3 000 a 28 000 defunciones por esa causa. En las estadísticas se indica que las intoxicaciones constituyen el 2.5 al 3 % de los casos atendidos en emergencia. Y del total de pacientes intoxicados el 28 % corresponde a organofosforados y de estos el 15% fallecen por no tener acceso inmediato a un área de salud y recibir atención oportuna. La metodología de la investigación, es una revisión bibliográfica, la cual se ha apoyado en medios electrónicos como Google Académico, PubMed, entre otros, en donde se ha encontrado información de diferentes trabajos de investigación, que aborda la temática aquí planteada. Ente algunas de las conclusiones destacan que una intoxicación por plaguicida puede ser mortal, independientemente de por cuál vía la persona haya tenido contacto con el mismo. Entre algunos de los síntomas que se pueden presentar, son dificultad respiratoria, disnea, irritación en ojos y piel, bradicardia, entre otros. Es por ello que la valoración inicial que se haga en el centro de salud por el personal médico más la información que pueda proporcionar los familiares, compañeros de trabajo, del intoxicado acerca del tipo de plaguicida puede ser determinante para el abordaje rápido en cuanto a la administración del tratamiento más adecuado. El tratamiento va a depender del grado de la intoxicación, sin embargo, entre los tipos de tratamiento está el uso de Atropina y Oximinas, colocación de sondas nasogástricas y lavado gástricos, administración de carbón activado, entre otros.2021text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=7945987(Revista) ISSN 2588-073XRECIMUNDO: Revista Científica de la Investigación y el Conocimiento, ISSN 2588-073X, Vol. 5, Nº. 2, 2021, pags. 179-186spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
