abstract="INTRODUCTION: Intentional self-poisoning is one of the most common methods of suicide worldwide. Acute poisoning is an important clinical emergency and contributor to morbidity and mortality. <br><br>AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: 1) To study the level of blood sugar in correlation with plasma pseudo cholinesterase. 2) To predict the prognosis and mortality based on pseudo cholinesterase activity. <br><br>RESULT: 100 cases of OP poisoning were studied. 59% had random blood sugar level between 60-200mg% and 41% had sugar level more than 200mg%. Plasma pseudocholinesterase levels normal value was taken as >2900IU/L. 39% of the cases had normal value,12% were less than <1000IU/L. 39% of the patients with RBS between60-200mg% had pseudocholinesterase level >2900IU/L and none with RBS 200mg%, Pseudocholinesterase level was co-related with various type of poison consumed. 23 patients with history of consumption of monocrotophos had values below 2900IU/L, 15 patients with endosulphan consumption followed by 5 withekalux. <br><br>CONCLUSION: The random blood sugar level doesn't alter the mortality of OP poisoning cases and pseudocholinesterase level estimation may be measured at the level of admission to classify OP poisoning cases. © 2017, Indian Journal of Public Health Research and Development.
