    Abstract:
    In order to obtain nursing observation indexes in treatment of acute organophosphorus insecticides poisoning (AOIP) with rational atropine dosage, three nursing observation indexes: abnormal secretion, body temperature and pulse were summarized with the theory obtained from a earlier study in our hospital. The rational atropine dosage for treatment of AOIP should be enough to antagonize the accumulation of acetylcholine but should not cause too much body feedback regulation. Regulate atropine dose by changes of these three indexes, 171 patients with AOIP (Group A) were treated and observed, and compared with 184 patients (Group B) treated with traditional observating method (atropinization index). The results showed that the atropine dose used in Group A was markedly less than that in Group B (P < 0.001), the medication duration was shortened (P < 0.001), the complication and fatality rate were decreased (both P < 0.05). It indicated that these observation indexes are scientific and reliable, practical and of spreading value.
