Abstract | OBJECTIVE: CASE SUMMARY: DISCUSSION: CONCLUSIONS: A continuous pralidoxime infusion successfully managed the prolonged nicotinic symptoms seen after ingestion of an organophosphate. A continuous infusion of pralidoxime may be particularly useful in cases of organophosphate poisoning when the extent of chemical exposure or quantity of chemical ingested is unknown but potentially toxic and the therapy must be symptomatically managed.
