Vomiting in acute theophylline toxicity has assumed increased clinical importance since the introduction of multiple dose activated charcoal therapy. We performed a prospective study of 26 patients with acute overdose of sustained release theophylline to characterize vomiting, and its possible
OBJECTIVE
Vomiting after activated charcoal decontamination is problematic. Acupressure (traditional Chinese medicine) is an effective treatment for emesis, but has not been tested in overdose patients. We sought to determine (1) the incidence of emesis after activated charcoal and (2) the ability
The efficacy of ipecac-induced emesis, large-bore orogastric lavage, and activated charcoal as gastrointestinal decontamination procedures after acute drug overdose is unknown. Using an ampicillin overdose model, these three procedures were compared with one another and to a control ingestion in ten
OBJECTIVE
Vomiting frequently complicates the administration of activated charcoal. The incidence of such vomiting is not defined precisely in the pediatric population. Little is known about the patient-, poison-, or procedure-specific factors that contribute to emesis of charcoal. This study aimed
Procedures to reduce the absorption of ingested poisons have been employed widely for decades in the management of intoxicated patients. However, evidence of substantial clinical benefit to the majority of patients undergoing such treatments is lacking. Volunteer studies suggest that activated
We treated 14 patients who had an initial serum theophylline concentration greater than 30 micrograms/ml (48.3 +/- 19.4 micrograms/ml) and symptoms of theophylline toxicity with oral activated charcoal (OAC). Thirty-gram doses of OAC were administered approximately every two hours for two to four
Vomiting is a common manifestation of theophylline toxicity and may limit the tolerance of orally administered activated charcoal (OAC). However, this potentially important interaction has received little attention. The records of 33 consecutive patients who presented to the emergency department
Two adolescents with serum theophylline concentrations in excess of 100 mg/L were treated with continuous nasogastric infusion of activated charcoal after an intentional overdose. In both cases, nasogastric boluses of 20 to 50 gm of charcoal resulted in prompt emesis of stomach contents despite the
Two dogs presented separately to the Small Animal Hospital, University of Florida (Gainsville, FL, USA) for ingestion of ibuprofen. The first dog ingested 561.8 mg/kg ibuprofen in addition to paracetamol and caffeine and vomited prior to admission. This patient also received fluid BACKGROUND
Skin disease leading to extensive blistering and loss of skin is associated with a characteristic smell. Odor can cause physiologic disturbances such as increase in heart rate and respiratory rate. It can also cause nausea and vomiting and is disturbing to bystanders.
OBJECTIVE
To test
The development of a gastrointestinal obstruction associated with multiple doses of activated charcoal is described. A carbamazepine-intoxicated patient received 240 g of activated charcoal and a total of 600 mL magnesium citrate with the development of an ileus and a small-bowel obstruction. The
