Carbamates used as insecticides are anticholinesterase compounds with varying degrees of toxicity to humans. Most poisonings by these agents occurs by accidental dermal exposure. However, there are also accidental and suicidal ingestions. The objective of this case report is the management of cholinergic syndrome in the intensive care unit.
