Abstract |
Carbamazepine overdose most commonly leads to prolonged coma but is occasionally complicated by arrythmias and other symptoms. The treatment is with aggressive gastrointestinal decontamination, even in late presenters, and respiratory support. Clearance of carbamazepine may be enhanced with repeated doses of activated charcoal or charcoal hemoperfusion but the clinical benefit from this is not yet repored in Korea.
Therefore we report a case of successful hemoperfusion of acute severe carbamazepine intoxication in Korea.(Korean J Med 69:S896-S899, 2005) |
Key Words:
