Severity of poisoning and requirement of ventilator support were studied in these patients. The POP scale and pseudo cholinesterase levels both showed a significant association in predicting the need for ventilatory support. Lower grade of poisoning had a better outcome whereas higher severity of poisoning had a poorer outcome. Keywords: Pseudocholine, Organophosphorus& Poisoning.
