Continuous venovenous haemofiltration for the treatment of theophylline toxicity.
2001

However, access to this technique is limited in most hospitals. This case report shows that continuous venovenous haemofiltration, a technique available in most hospitals, is an effective alternative to charcoal haemoperfusion.
