Manejo de las intoxicaciones por tóxicos dializables.

Deciding which extracorporeal therapy (ET) modality is the most appropriate to acutely eliminate a given substance requires a good understanding of the drug's physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties, as well as a practical knowledge of ET; technical features, advantages and limitations. The present review aims to synthesize the knowledge about the different ETs and their usefulness in acute poisonings, together with a description of the characteristics of potentially dialyzable substances. A literature search was carried out in Pubmed and Medline with the following strategy: (Intoxication OR poisons OR overdose) AND (extracorporeal therapy OR extracorporeal treatment OR hemodialysis OR hemofiltration OR haemodialysis OR CRRT). The search for information was completed by reviewing the publications of the EXTRIP working group.
