Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

60 patients will be randomly assigned as control groups, paraffin group, and coconut group in a 1:1:1 ratio (30 patients in each group).

Inclusion criteria:

  • Patients with symptomatic acute aluminum phosphide poisoning
  • Age is more than 12 years of both gender
  • Patients presenting within 6 hours post-ingestion of aluminum phosphide (Papade and Vanjari, 2019).

The diagnosis is made on the basis of:

  1. The suggestive clinical manifestations due to and following shortly after a single exposure to aluminum phosphide.
  2. Reliable identification of the compound based on the container brought by patient attendants.

  3. Biochemical detection of phosphine gas in gastric aspirate (silver nitrate test).

    • Group (I): Gastric lavage with saline and sodium bicarbonate 8.4% then aspiration will be done after 3-5 min through nasogastric tube (Control group)
    • Group (II): Gastric lavage will be initiated with 50 mL of Paraffin oil and 50 mL of sodium bicarbonate solution 8.4%, then aspiration will be done after 3-5 min through nasogastric tube (Paraffin group).
    • Group (III): Gastric lavage will be initiated with 50 ml coconut oil and 50 ml sodium bicarbonate 8.4 % then aspiration will be done after 3-5 min through nasogastric tube (Coconut group).
    • All patients will continue to receive the standard supportive treatment according to Tanta University Poison Control Center protocol, which is determined by the attending physician who maintains clinical responsibility for all patients. Conventional standard treatment included using inotropes, fluids and electrolytes resuscitation, intubation, mechanical ventilation and antiarrhythmic agents if indicated.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
