Acute respiratory muscle weakness and apnea in a critically ill patient induced by colistin neurotoxicity: key potential role of hemoadsorption elimination during continuous venovenous hemofiltration
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a patient with severe New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 Escherichia coli infection who developed convulsions rapidly followed by acute respiratory muscle weakness and apnea while receiving intravenous colistin. Toxic levels of colistin were rapidly removed by hemofiltration and, more specifically, by hemoadsorption.

Vancomycin pharmacokinetics during high-volume continuous venovenous hemofiltration in critically ill septic patients.
AIMS To assess the influence of continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) at a filtration rate of 45 mL/kg/h on vancomycin pharmacokinetics in critically ill septic patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). METHODS Seventeen adult septic patients with acute kidney injury treated with CVVH and vancomycin were included. All patients received first dose of 1.0 g intravenously followed by 1.0 g/...
متن کاملDeterminants of Outcome in Non-Septic Critically Ill Patients with Acute Kidney Injury on Continuous Venovenous Hemofiltration
BACKGROUND/AIMS In view of ongoing controversy, we wished to study whether patient characteristics and/or continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) characteristics contribute to the outcome of non-septic critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). METHODS We retrospectively studied 102 consecutive patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) with non-septic AKI needing CVVH. Patien...
متن کاملPharmacokinetics of caspofungin in critically ill patients on continuous renal replacement therapy.
Caspofungin pharmacokinetics was assessed in 27 critically ill patients, including 7 on continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH), 8 on continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD), and 13 not requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Caspofungin exposure during CRRT was very similar to that of the control group and comparable to that in healthy volunteers. Caspofungin clearance by...
متن کاملImmunomodulatory Effect of Continuous Venovenous Hemofiltration during Sepsis: Preliminary Data
INTRODUCTION Severe sepsis and septic shock are the primary causes of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), which is the most frequent cause of death in intensive care unit patients. Many pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), play a strategic role in septic syndrome. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) removes in a nonselective way pro- and anti-infla...

INTRODUCTION Because of ongoing controversy, renal and vital outcomes are compared between systemically administered unfractionated heparin and regional anticoagulation with citrate-buffered replacement solution in predilution mode, during continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI). METHODS In this multi-center randomized controlled t...
