Data is taken from this pathway's reviewed node text. Work through the pathway step by step.

Step 1 / 1 · Cholinergic crisis?

Cholinergic crisis (muscarinic + nicotinic + central)?

💡 Organophosphates (pesticides) inhibit cholinesterase. Muscarinic (DUMBELS: diarrhea, urinary incontinence, miosis, bradycardia/bronchorrhea and bronchospasm, emesis, lacrimation, salivation — airway secretions/bronchospasm are the main cause of death) + nicotinic (fasciculations, weakness, paralysis) + central (seizures, coma).
