This is a prospective study over a period of 5 years. We included all patients admitted to an acute pesticide poisoning registry.We identified 35 cases. Twenty-five patients (71.4%) presented with chloral poisoning and 10 patients (28.5%) with acute organophosphate poisoning. MV was indicated in all patients, vascular filling in 28 patients (80%), and catecholamines in 4 patients (8.1%). An anticonvulsant was prescribed in 1 patient (11.4%). We used Contrathion in 10 patients (28.5%) and atropine in the same number. Psychiatric care was deemed necessary in 28 patients (80%). The outcome was favorable.Early and appropriate care (preservation of vital functions and administration of specific antidotal treatment) improves the prognosis.
