Abstract:ObjectiveTo describe the successful use of carbon hemoperfusion and hemodiafiltration in combination with mechanical ventilation (MV) to treat a severe intoxication of 5‐hydroxytryptophan (5‐HTP) in a dog.Case SummaryA dog ingested a minimum of 550 mg/kg of extended‐release 5‐HTP, resulting in serotonin syndrome that progressed to a comatose state and severe hypoventilation requiring MV. Extracorporeal carbon hemoperfusion coupled with hemodiafiltration was performed to remove 5‐HTP from this patient. A carbon… Show more
