| Popis: | 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 patient in which high cut-off hemodialysis was used. Timely detoxification resulted in rapid gain of consciousness, allowing the patient to state the existence and location of another poison victim. |
