AbstractCopper sulfate, a prevalent fungicide utilized in agriculture, poses substantial hazards due to its toxicity. This manuscript explores a case study of a 56-year-old male who presented with symptoms of copper sulfate poisoning, including respiratory distress, metabolic acidosis, and cardiovascular instability. Despite immediate medical intervention, including the patient
succumbed to ventricular fibrillation. The discussion delineates the diverse manifestations and management strategies for copper sulfate poisoning, emphasizing the importance of prompt recognition and treatment. With fatal outcomes attributed to conditions like methemoglobinemia and organ failure, early initiation of supportive care and chelation therapy are paramount.
While uncommon in emergency settings, this case underscores the significance of vigilance in recognizing and managing copper sulfate toxicity to mitigate adverse outcomes. The study contributes to the existing literature by elucidating clinical presentations, treatment modalities, and prognostic factors associated with copper sulfate poisoning.
