Abstract

Aluminum phosphide (AlP) poisoning typically has a poor prognosis, but this case report from Nepal demonstrated that prompt hospitalization, aggressive supportive care, including gastric lavage with coconut oil, and careful management of metabolic acidosis can lead to successful patient recovery.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
