Survival after aluminum phosphide poisoning with cardiotoxicity: a case report
One of the limitations of this report is the nature of the case report, being a retrospective design, giving no chance to establish a cause-effect relationship. Arterial blood gas analysis, serum magnesium level, and cardiac computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging modalities were not available in the town. The recommended gastric lavage with potassium permanganate solution was not used in this case, because potassium permanganate is not available in Ethiopia. The other limitation is that, as it is a case report from a single center, it may not be representative of the general population. These limitations might have a negative impact on the generalizability of the findings.
