Hemoadsorption may improve outcomes in severe poisoning cases

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20261030/Hemoadsorption-may-improve-outcomes-in-severe-poisoning-cases.aspx The WHO estimated over 800,000 suicide deaths in 2012, with poisoning a major concern. Three‑quarters of suicides occur in low‑ and middle‑income countries, with an estimated 30% related to pesticides. Organophosphates account for at least 40% of pesticides in India. For non‑pesticide overdoses, the Extracorporeal Treatment in Poisoning Workgroup (EXTRIP) has reviewed over 20 drugs and toxins and issued recommendations for extracorporeal therapy.
