Detoxication methods for bromureide poisoning. Comparison of haemodialysis, haemofiltration and haemoperfusion on bastard dogs.

The efficiency of different detoxication methods for Carbromal intoxications was evaluated on bastard dogs using haemofiltration, haemodialysis and haemoperfusion with coated charcoal and polystyrene resins. Clearance rates and eliminated amounts of Carbromal and bromine were compared. Haemoperfusion is most effective in the elimination of Carbromal and haemodialysis for removal of bromide ions. Haemofiltration was least effective for both and should therefore not be used for the treatment of Carbromal intoxications.
