Out of 39 OPC exposed patients, about 33 were improved and 06 were died. Out of 39, 15 patients consumed >120 ml of OPC. Of them on management, 9 are enhanced and 6 were expired and this dissimilarity were significant (p≤0.05) Respiratory failure caused significant number of mortality (p=≤0.05). Conclusion: The occurrence of IMS in organophosphorus poisoning should be recognized in premature stages and cautious management, monitoring and follow up of affected patients are desirable to decrease the demises.
