Self-poisoning with sustained-release aminophylline: secondary rise in serum theophylline concentration after charcoal haemoperfusion.
Theophylline poisoning can result in nausea, vomiting, hypotension, cardiac dysrythmias, and seizures. Mortality may be as high as 50%, and life-threatening events may occur without premonitory symptoms.' Because of this, treatment is indicated when serum theophylline concentrations are very high. Charcoal haemoperfusion is effective in lowering serumconcentrations of theophylline.2 We report a...
متن کاملSequential and simultaneous "in series" hemodialysis and hemoperfusion in the management of theophylline intoxication.
Hemodialysis and hemoperfusion have been evaluated, and both are effective in removing theophylline. We report two consecutive cases of theophylline intoxication in which the sequential treatment of charcoal hemoperfusion and hemodialysis is contrasted to the simultaneous "in series" treatment of hemodialysis and charcoal hemoperfusion. Analysis of the two methodologies shows that the combined ...
متن کاملTreatment of theophylline toxicity with oral activated charcoal.
We treated 14 patients who had an initial serum theophylline concentration greater than 30 micrograms/ml (48.3 +/- 19.4 micrograms/ml) and symptoms of theophylline toxicity with oral activated charcoal (OAC). Thirty-gram doses of OAC were administered approximately every two hours for two to four doses. Ten patients tolerated OAC and demonstrated a reduction in theophylline half-life to 5.6 +/-...
متن کاملContinuous venovenous haemofiltration for the treatment of theophylline toxicity.
In patients with severe theophylline toxicity charcoal haemoperfusion is the recommended method for rapid reduction of serum theophylline levels. However, access to this technique is limited in most hospitals. This case report shows that continuous venovenous haemofiltration, a technique available in most hospitals, is an effective alternative to charcoal haemoperfusion.
متن کاملIn vitro removal of therapeutic drugs with a novel adsorbent system.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Substances in the middle molecular weight range have been shown to play a significant pathogenetic role in as diverse disorders as end-stage renal disease and multiple organ failure. To overcome the limitations in the amount removed by hemofilters, new sorbents with a high biocompatibility are actively being developed. Furthermore, biocompatible sorbents by their nonspecific ads...
