TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Hemodiafiltration in pentobarbital poisoning JO - Renal failure A1 - Bironneau, E. A1 - Garrec, F. A1 - Kergueris, M. F. A1 - Testa, A. A1 - Nicolas, F. SP - 299 EP - 303 VL - 18 IS - 2 N2 - We report the use of continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHD) in a case of massive intentional ingestion of pentobarbital associated with severe coma and hypotension. Despite a poor hemodynamic state, toxic epuration (15% of drug ingested) was obtained. However, death occurred 7 hr after the end of treatment. This report suggests that CVVHD can be effective in the treatment of massive pentobarbital intoxication.
