title: [Blood purification procedures in acute exogenous poisonings].
abstract: The contribution explains the value of the techniques of blood purification on the basis of national numbers and own experiences. By reason of the great number of chemical substances which may give rise to intoxications within such a close compass it is of course impossible to mention details. Even so eminent books of reference such as the book by Seyffart need not only the permanent actualization, but by virtue of new scientific or experimental knowledge occasionally lead to changed conceptions. This, for instance, also concerns the somewhat more reserved assessment of the digitalis glycoside poisoning. On principle should be recorded that always then, when during intoxications vital functions are potentially or actively disturbed, or, however, the danger of lasting damage is occurring, because of the small complication rate of the haemodialysis or haemoperfusion in all unclear intoxications in case of doubt always such a blood purification technique should be performed in order to grant better changes of treatment to these patients and still further to reduce the mortality rate of acute intoxications.
