As is the case in toxicity and pathogenesis of intoxication, the route of exposure is important in relation to possible modes and their likelihood of success of prophylaxis and therapy. For oral intoxication, supportive therapy includes activated charcoal administration and intravenous fluid and electrolyte replacement. For inhalational intoxication, supportive therapy to counteract acute pulmonary edema and respiratory distress is indicated. Symptomatic care is the only intervention presently available to clinicians for the treatment of incapacitating or lethal doses of inhaled ricin. Positive end-expiratory ventilatory therapy, fluid and electrolyte replacement, antiinflammatory agents, and analgesics... [Pg.639]

Prophylaxis and treatment of OP poisoning <9-Pinacolyl methylphosphono-fluoridate or soman is an extremely toxic OP poison that has been used in chemical warfare and terrorism. However, most OP compounds are used in industry and in veterinary and human medicine as insecticides [77, 78]. OPs are irreversible inhibitors of AChE, resulting in accumulation of ACh at the synaptic junctions, which causes severe cholinergic symptoms, e.g., tremors and seizure, progressing to impairment of respiratory drive and coma [77]. HupA has been tested as... [Pg.1252]
