Résumé

Aluminum phosphide (ALP) poisoning is a true medical emergency associated with high mortality. The lack of a specific antidote for ALP poisoning mandates searching for new treatment modalities. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of gastric decontamination by paraffin oil in cases with acute ALP poisoning. This study was a randomized, controlled, parallel-group, single-blind, phase II clinical trial conducted over a period of 6 months. Sixty-two patients with acute ALP poisoning were randomly allocated into two equivalent groups. In both groups, the standard ALP treatment was given. Gastric decontamination in the control group was performed by saline and sodium bicarbonate 8.4%, while in the intervention group, it was done by paraffin oil and sodium bicarbonate 8.4%. All patients were subjected to history taking, clinical examination, and laboratory investigations. The outcomes were evaluated. The median age of the studied patients was 20 years. Most of the studied cases were females, single, and from rural areas. The median delay time was 1 h. All patients included in the study alleged ingestion of ALP during suicidal attempts. Twelve hours after admission, many clinical and laboratory findings were significantly better in the intervention group. The need for intubation, mechanical ventilation, and total amount of vasopressors was significantly lower, and the mortality rate was non-significantly lower in the intervention group compared to the control. The median length of hospital stay was significantly shorter in the control group. Gastric decontamination with paraffin oil and sodium bicarbonate 8.4% could be valuable in reducing ALP poisoning severity, the need for intubation, mechanical ventilation, and vasopressors.
