Combination therapy for aluminum phosphide poisoning
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.
