BIPYRIDYL CHLORIDE, SUICIDE ATTEMPTS, SUICIDAL BEHAVIOR, MULTIPLE ORGAN FAILURE, RISK FACTORS.Abstract
Introduction: Bipyridyl or Paraquat is a herbicide with high toxicity potential. Its inhalation can cause damage to the lungs, intestines and kidneys, among other organs, depending on the route of entry.
Objective: To determine the factors that generate an incidence of bipyridyl chloride intoxication at the “Hospital General Francisco de Orellana”.
Methods: The main objective of this research was. To determine the factors that generate an incidence of dipyridylium chloride poisoning in the hospital Francisco de Orellana in the period September 2022 - August 2023. The universe and the sample coincided from a non-probabilistic sample, so the selected population was 104 people.
Results: In the province of Orellana there is a serious problem in terms of self-inflicted intoxication in the population. This problem is frequently generated in rural areas and has a great influence on young men between 12 and 18 years of age, with 72,1 % of the total cases, the main cause being family problems with 40,4 %, followed by love relationships that have a certain relationship with depression, generating 26,9 % of the total cases. A 64,4 % of the population did experience involuntary exposure to herbicides, leaving 35,6 % to first-time users.
Conclusions: there is a great lack of information on herbicides in health centers, so awareness programs on this subject should be implemented.
