Organophosphate
causes irreversible cholinesterase inhibition
Mild Organophosphate exposure
headaches, dizziness weakness, anxiety, miosis, nausea and visual impairment
Moderate Organophosphate Exposure
nausea, salivation, lacrimation, abd cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, slow pulse, respiratory compromise, and muscle tremors
Severe Organophosphate Exposure
pinpoint and non reactive pupils, respiratory difficulties, pulmonary edema, muscle spasms, cyanosis, loss of sphincter control, convulsions, coma and death
Treatment for Organophosphate exposure
2-4 mg of atropine IV
repeat doses every 5-10 mins until atropinization
maintain treatment for 24hours +
2PAM chloride, 1gm IV slowly may be used for supportive therapy
Carbamate Poisoning
reversible cholinesterase inhibition
Signs and Symptoms of Carbamate poisoning
pupillary constriction, salivation, profuse sweating, lassitude, muscle incoordination, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, epigastric pain, tightness in chest
Treatment for Carbamate poisoning
2-4mg atropine IV
repeat doses every 5-10mins until atropinization
maintain for 24 hours +
2 PAM Chloride is CONTRAINDICATED
Organochlorine Pesticide poisoning
central nervous system depressant
Signs and Symptoms of Organochlorine Pesticide poisoning
within 20mins to 4 hours, may have headaches, nausea and vomiting, restlessness, tremor, apprehension, convulsion, coma, respiratory failure and death
Treatment for Organochlorine Pesticide poisoning
do not induce vomiting
lavage stomach with 2-4liters of tap water
induce catharsis with 30gm sodium sulphate in one cup water
administer barbiturates in appropriate doses
avoid oils, oil laxatives or epinephrine
do not give stimulants
calcium gluconate(10% in 10mL ampules) IV q 4 hours
refer to current poisoning references for current treatments
Minimum requirements for pesticide spill kits
absorbent material - diatomaceous earth, sand or dirt
shovel
leak proof barrel for disposal
detergent and water or chlorine bleach (not organochlorines)
protective clothing
Procedures for pesticide spill clean up
confine spill
use absorbent material
shovel contaminated material into leak proof barrel
treat contaminated surfaces with chlorine bleach
use protective clothing
Two places to keep pest control records
SAMS
Separate Pest Control Log (greenbook)
- Material inventory
- pierside/onboard inspections
- ship sanitation control exemption certificate/ship sanitation control certificate (SSCEC/SSCC)
- curtesy technical assistance visits and informal surveys
- pesticide use
Who do we report pest management activities to?
Navy Entomology Center of Excellence (NECE)
MONTHLY
