Abstract
Background: Poisonings can harm through their direct effect or determining organ dysfunction. Extracorporeal blood purification therapies (EBPT) have been used for decades in case of poisonings. Although poisoning remains a major public health issue, focusing on organ dysfunction rather than the poison itself has significantly reduced mortality rates.
Summary: This review explores the complex and dynamic interactions among poisons, patients, and EBPT and describes specific poisonings where EBPT may be indicated.
Key messages: EBPT are indicated in many cases of intoxication, either to enhance clearance or for organ support. A thorough understanding of the interactions between poisons, patients, and EBPT is mandatory for proper management of each specific intoxication.
期刊介绍:
Practical information on hemodialysis, hemofiltration, peritoneal dialysis and apheresis is featured in this journal. Recognizing the critical importance of equipment and procedures, particular emphasis has been placed on reports, drawn from a wide range of fields, describing technical advances and improvements in methodology. Papers reflect the search for cost-effective solutions which increase not only patient survival but also patient comfort and disease improvement through prevention or correction of undesirable effects. Advances in vascular access and blood anticoagulation, problems associated with exposure of blood to foreign surfaces and acute-care nephrology, including continuous therapies, also receive attention. Nephrologists, internists, intensivists and hospital staff involved in dialysis, apheresis and immunoadsorption for acute and chronic solid organ failure will find this journal useful and informative. ''Blood Purification'' also serves as a platform for multidisciplinary experiences involving nephrologists, cardiologists and critical care physicians in order to expand the level of interaction between different disciplines and specialities.
