Abstract

This case study describes an Indian male patient's death caused by paraquat after oral consumption. A 20-year-old male patient attended the emergency department. He had a major complaint of stomach disorders, vomiting, fatigue, and hypothermia. It was confirmed that he was transferred from a nearby hospital after evaluating the situation. It was reported that paraquat poison had a systemic effect, and during the healing process, he was subject to multiple dialysis. This study will help doctors and clinicians to respond quickly to paraquat poisoning and aid in the early recovery and maintenance of poisoning.

Abstract

In these past three years, we treated 5 patients who attempted suicide by taking paraquat, a herbicide that had been kept at home, by direct hemoperfusion (DHP) alone or in combination with double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) in addition to conservative therapy. DHP alone was performed on 3 patients, 2 of whom recovered. The other 1 patient treated by DHP alone and 2 treated by the combination therapy died. These patients showed a plasma paraquat concentration exceeding the survival curve presented by Proudfoot. In such patients, appropriate combinations among hemodialysis, hemofiltration, DHP, and DFPP may be safer and more effective than each therapy alone.
