Extracorporeal Albumin Dialysis in Three Cases of Acute Calcium Channel Blocker Poisoning With Life-Threatening Refractory Cardiogenic Shock
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 08/23/2011
Pichon N et al. – A single procedure was successfully performed in each patient, which was followed by rapid weaning of adrenergic agonist agents and full recovery of the life–threatening cardiovascular failure. At 2–year follow–up, patients were asymptomatic. Albumin dialysis with molecular adsorbents recirculating system (MARS) therapy may be effective when used as a rescue procedure in patients presenting with sustained, life–threatening cardiogenic shock as a result of massive calcium channel blocker poisoning.
