Three patients with cholinesterase inhibitor poisoning have been presented. The patients were in a deep coma and, in one of them, artificial mechanical respiration was instituted. All three cases were treated by a procedure combining hemodialysis and hemoperfusion with Amberlite resin (XAD-4), and the clinical picture improved over a short period of time.

Hemodialysis is the extracorporeal treatment of choice for various life-threatening intoxications, with the exception of highly protein-bound substances, which are preferably removed by charcoal hemoperfusion. This technique, however, is limited by its availability and its significant side effects. We present a potentially lifethreatening diphenhydramine (DPH) overdose in a stuporous female pat...

Direct hemoperfusion therapy with polymyxin B immobilized fiber cartridge (PMX-DHP) is an established strategy in the treatment of septic shock in Japan and parts of Western Europe. PMX-DHP is currently the subject of a pivotal North American randomized controlled trial (EUPHRATES) in patients with septic shock and confirmed endotoxemia, as measured by the endotoxin activity assay.

ADM is sometimes accompanied by interstitial pneumonia that shows a rapid progressive course associated with a poor prognosis. We describe a 70-year-old man who presented rapidly progressive interstitial pneumonia associated w...
