Abstract

In 13 patients (2 males, 11 females, 15-70 years of age) on account of severe intoxications with hypnotics sedatives, psychopharmaca, in most cases mixed intoxications, with propranolol and halogenized hydrocarbons a 4--8-hour haemoperfusion treatment with amberlite XAD-4-Resin was performed. 11 patients survived, 1 patient died in irreversible cardiogenic shock of a propranolol intoxication, another patient of the sequels of a crotylbarbital and methaqualone intoxication. The curves of the course of the blood concentration of the individual substances showed a good elimination for phenobarbital and crotylbarbital, methaqualone, meprobamat and didropyridine as well as trichlorethylene, a less good elimination for nitrazepam, propranolol and tetrachlorethylene, Altogether the effectiveness of the detoxication clearly higher in the time unit, compared with the dialysis.
