Gastric wash with paraffin oil for aluminum poison
This trial studies whether flushing the stomach with paraffin oil can improve outcomes after symptomatic aluminum phosphide poisoning. It may help by removing or limiting the poison before it causes more harm, but it depends on timing and your current condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have symptoms from a recent aluminum phosphide poisoning (not just a past exposure).
- You are not pregnant and you are not breastfeeding.
- You only have aluminum phosphide exposure (no other substances involved).
- You have not had a stomach wash (gastric lavage) at any hospital before this admission.
- You are not in a post–cardiac arrest situation and your alertness is not severely disturbed.

This trial tests a combination of three treatments (glucose-insulin-potassium infusion, hydrocortisone, and sevelamer) for people who have been poisoned with aluminum phosphide, a pesticide commonly used to protect stored grains. The goal is to improve survival and recovery in patients who arrive at the hospital quickly with severe symptoms that include low blood pressure.
This trial tests whether giving activated charcoal plus emptying the stomach can help people who are on a breathing machine after severe poisoning. It may lower the amount of poison in the body and improve recovery.
This study tests whether adding magnesium sulfate to the standard antidotes for insecticide poisoning helps patients recover better. The treatment is given along with the usual medicines to counteract the poison.
This trial tests if giving phosphate through a vein can help people with acute pancreatitis. It's for adults who come to the emergency room with pancreatitis and can start treatment within 24 hours of being admitted to the hospital.
This study compares two ways of giving the antidote (called NAC) to people who have taken too much paracetamol. It looks at which treatment is safer and works better, depending on how soon after the overdose the treatment begins.
This pilot study tests giving activated charcoal soon after a poisoning to see if it helps remove certain swallowed toxins. It may be an option if you arrive at the hospital within 6 hours and charcoal is medically safe for you.
