Abstract: A prospective study of 50 cases of Organophosphate (OP) compound poisoning with regard to their ECG changes between October, 2013 to March, 2015 were reported. Study undertaken to study the electrocardiographic changes in patients with organophosphorus compound poisoning a detailed analysis is carried out based on clinical features, type of compound, nature of poisoning and requirement of assisted ventilation in all patients. Lastly, the various ECG changes in OP compound poisoning and their association with clinical outcome has been discussed. Out of the 50 cases included in the study group, 16 were females and 34 patients were males. The present study shows significant correlation between prolonged QTc interval and mortality (p<0.0001) also, a strong correlation between ST-T changes and mortality (p = 0.003).
