Severe Methylphenidate Intoxication-Charcoal Hemoperfusion as an Aid in Treating the Patient

Charcoal hemoperfusion for phenytoin intoxication.

Accidental ingestion of phenytoin can lead to severe neurological sequelae. Charcoal hemoperfusion decreases phenytoin levels but has never been reported before in children. We present a child with accidental ingestion of phenytoin who responded to charcoal hemoperfusion.

Charcoal hemoperfusion in the treatment of levothyroxine intoxication.

BACKGROUND Levothyroxine (l-thyroxine) intoxication may arise from intentional or accidental ingestion of excessive doses of the hormone and may cause symptoms equivalent to thyroid storm. We report a case of massive accidental l-thyroxine intoxication resulting from an error in the preparation of capsules to treat goiter. SUMMARY A 61-year-old woman was admitted showing high levels of thyroi...

Effectivity of One Session Charcoal Hemoperfusion Treatment in Severe Carbamazepine Poisoning

A carbamazepine intoxication with suicide attempt is a relatively common clinical problem that presenting with coma, respiratory depression, arrhythmia, hemodynamic instability and even death. We report a case of severe carbamazepine poisoning that was successfully treated with one session charcoal hemoperfusion. On admission, the patient was comatose and required ventilator support. Hemoperfus...

Carbamazepine Intoxication Unresponsive to Continuous Venovenous Hemodiafiltration

s: Carbamazepine (CBZ) intoxication can be associated with severe toxicity. Highly protein-bounded, CBZ is not removed efficiently through conventional hemodialysis. we observed that serum CBZ level was decreased minimally by albumin-enhanced CVVHDF with low dialysate flow. Therefore, albumin-enhanced CVVHDF with high dialysate flow should be considered in severe CBZ intoxication, if hemoperfus...
