IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 5021: Case Report: Acute Intoxication from Phosphine Inhalation
Xiangdong Jian Aluminum phosphide is a highly effective insecticide for fumigation in granaries and is often used in rural grain storage. However, people’s awareness of its toxicity is not strong. A case of acute inhalation toxicity of phosphine caused by the use of aluminum phosphide to fumigate a granary is reported here. The case presented with aspiration pneumonia and acute left heart failure. The patient was cured using comprehensive life support treatment, including respiratory support, antiarrhythmic treatment, and blood pressure maintenance with vasoactive drugs. There is no specific antidote f...

Hypertriglyceridemia as a Cause of Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy Circuit Clotting: A Case Series
Conclusion: Due to the propensity of propofol use for critically ill patients in intensive care units, and the rather common occurrence of CRRT circuit clotting, hypertriglyceridemia may be underappreciated and undiagnosed. The exact pathophysiology behind hypertriglyceridemia-induced CRRT clotting has not been fully elucidated, although there are some hypotheses which include fibrin and fat droplet deposition (identified after electron microscopic examination of the hemofilter), increased blood viscosity, and development of a procoagulant state. Premature clotting poses a multitude of problems including inadequate treatme...

Abstract No. 547 Heparin Reversal with Protamine Sulfate after Percutaneous Hepatic Perfusion (PHP): How Much Is Too Much?
Percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP) is a palliative intraarterial therapy approach for unresectable hepatic malignancies. During PHP, high dose chemotherapeutic melphalan is saturating the liver parenchyma and an extracorporeal hemofiltration extracts excess melphalan. Blood clotting in the extracorporeal filter system is prevented by administering unfractionated heparin (UFH), which can be reversed with protamine after the procedure. Aim of this retrospective two-center-study was to analyze the potential effect of UFH reversal with protamine on complication rates following PHP. (Source: Journal of Vascular and Interventi...
