[Two cases of dichlorvos poisoning complicated with gastric perforation].

ABSTRACT

Severe acute dichlorvos poisoning is characterized by rapid onset, swift disease progression and serious complications. It frequently involves multiple organ failure (central, respiratory and circulatory systems), severe acidosis, and rare occurrences of gastric perforation. When secondary gastric perforation occurs, treatment becomes difficult and the prognosis of patients is poor. Thus, early and sufficient gastrointestinal decontamination is crucial. This article presented two cases of gastric perforation secondary to dichlorvos poisoning and discussed the causes of gastric perforation, as well is clinical diagnostic and treatment methods.
