The final yellow color was stable for at least 10 min at room temperature. There was also excellent correlation with the high-performance liquid chromatography method (r² = 0.9758). In the clinical cohort study, use of the antidote N-acetylcysteine was avoided in over a third of patients who had the plasma paracetamol concentration measured. The cost of consumables used per assay was $0.50 (US). Conclusions: This colorimetric paracetamol assay is reliable and accurate and can be performed rapidly, easily, and economically. Use of this assay in resource-poor clinical settings has the potential to have a significant clinical and economic impact on the management of paracetamol poisoning.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:13:51 AEDT ]]> Oximes for acute organophosphate pesticide poisoning https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12274 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:10:12 AEDT ]]>
