TREATMENT OF BARBITURATE POISONING. THE USE OF PERITONEAL DIALYSIS.
In a case of severe phenobarbital poisoning successfully treated by peritoneal dialysis, a total of 2.24 gm of the drug was removed during two periods of dialysis. (The patient is believed to have taken 10 gm.) This compares favorably with amounts that can be removed by hemodialysis. The technique is simple, safe and effective. It should be considered for use in cases meeting the criteria for its use.
