sweating
bronchoconstriction
vomiting
diarrhea
48

ingestion - GI sx first
percutaneous - sweating and muscle fasciculations

poison with lipid soluble agent - CNS involvement rapid - convulsion, coma, resp paralysis

49
Q

death with AChE inhibitor

A

resp failure

50

cholinesterase re-activator

to regenerate AChE at NMJ

53
Q

cholinesterase re-activator

A

pralidoxime

remove P group from active site of enzyme

must be given before aging

does not enter CNS - no effect of organophosphate poisoning

54
Q

A

atropine
pralidoxime
benzo (anticonvulsant)

55
Q

A

tx mild to moderate and severe AD dementia

rapid absorption
one daily dosing

56
