Initial Treatment of Organophosphate Poisoning By J. Schneider This one-hour continuing education course will discuss the current concepts of managing organophosphate exposures. This will include anticipation of possible exposure in seemingly unrelated events, early recognition of symptoms and management of the client in the prehospital and emergency department setting. Emphasis is also placed on containing the offending agent, preventing additional exposures and disposal of wastes. Author: J. Schneider
