Evaluation of evidence regarding specific treatments, including oximes.

Main Results:

Poisoning presents with diverse symptoms, from nausea and vomiting to seizures and paralysis.
Early clinical suspicion is vital for timely diagnosis.
Supportive care, airway protection, and monitoring are primary treatment pillars.
Anticholinergics are key for organophosphate and organocarbamate poisoning.
The role and dosage of oximes remain controversial, with potential benefits from early, low-dose administration.

Conclusions:

Organic insecticide poisoning requires prompt recognition and management.
Treatment strategies emphasize supportive care and targeted therapies.
Further research is needed to clarify the optimal use of oximes in managing these poisonings.
