Our country being agricultural one, farmers use pesticides commonly but without following precautions during spraying and thus become victims of poisoning exposure. Not only farmers but other population is also at risk of chronic poisoning from pesticides as result of ingestion of vegetables which contain significant amount of these compounds. AIM OF STUDY:- To study importance of electrocardiographic changes in Organo -phosphorous poisoning and to analyze their relationship as predictors of final outcome. MATERIALS & METHODS: In our multi-centered study of 80 cases in detail electrocardiographical changes of acute organo-phosphorous poisoning admitted to Shantiram medical college and general Hospital, Nandyal, Pinnamenenisiddhardha institute of medical sciences Vijayawada, and Fathima Institute of Medical Sciences, Kadapa during July 2016 to February 2017 CONCLUSIONS: In our study, the following electrocardiographical abnormal QTc prolongation which was commonest ECG abnormality. QTc prolongation has prognostic value in predicting respiratory failure and final outcome, other ECG changes did not show any significant prognostic value. In conclusion a complete Electrocardiogram of O.P poisoning at emergency department/ casualty is important and has definite prognostic value.
