* Ideally, extracorporeal removal should be used to treat theophylline poisoned patients with the above elevations in serum levels before seizures or cardiac arrhythmias develop, because hemodialysis or hemoperfusion has not been shown to reliably terminate these life-threatening events.
¶ For example, if the initial level is ≥80 micrograms/mL (444 micromol/L), then one additional rising level that is measured 2 hours later or if the initial level is <80 microgram/mL (444 micromol/L), a subsequent level that rises above 80 microgram/mL (444 micromol/L).Do you want to add Medilib to your home screen?
