Online published on 15 December, 2017. 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. Aims and Objectives To study the level of blood sugar in correlation with plasma pseudo cholinesterase. To predict the prognosis and mortality based on pseudo cholinesterase activity. 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.
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.
