Abstract
- Toxic ingestions are a significant cause of pediatric morbidity and mortality, with some requiring extracorporeal removal for therapy. Given the emergent and life-threatening nature of such scenarios, it is paramount that clinicians caring for intoxicated children be familiar with the subject. This review summarizes the following: (a) the properties of a substance which lend it amenable to removal; (b) the current extracorporeal treatment modalities available for such removal (of which hemodialysis is typically the ideal choice); (c) an introduction and framework to use a quick reference guide from the Extrip organization, which has a website available to guide clinicians' rapid decisions; and (d) new membranes/approaches that may optimize clearance of certain intoxications.
