Abstract

Tricyclic antidepressant intoxication is one of the most frequently seen and life-threatening causes of intoxication among referrals to emergency departments because of drug intoxication. Especially in children, it is a major cause of mortality and morbidity. Intoxication symptoms are observed in the early phase because of a high volume of distribution and a high degree of plasma protein binding. Plasmapheresis is very effective in poisonings with amitriptyline, theophylline, diltiazem, carbamazepine, L-thyroxin, verapamil and heavy metals including mercury. American Apheresis Association Guide recommends plasmapheresis to support primary treatment in drug poisonings which do not respond to certain and traditional treatments. In this report, we wanted to emphasize that plasmapheresis treatment was successful in two subjects who presented with amitriptyline intoxication.

Özet

İlaçla zehirlenme nedeniyle acil servislere başvuran olgular içerisinde trisiklik antidepresan ilaçlar sık görülen ve yaşamı tehdit eden zehirlenme nedenlerindendir. Özellikle çocuklarda önemli hastalık ve ölüm nedeni olmaktadır . Dağılım hacimlerinin yüksek olması ve proteinlere yüksek oranda bağlanmaları nedeni ile zehirlenme bulguları erken ortaya çıkmaktadır. Plazmaferez aminotriptilin teofilin, diltizem, karbamezepin, L-tiroksin, verapamil, civa gibi ağır metal zehirlenmelerinde oldukça etkilidir. Amerikan Aferez Derneği, belirli ve geleneksel tedavilere cevap vermeyen ilaç zehirlenmelerinde birincil tedaviye destek olarak plazmaferez önermektedir. Bu yazıda, ağır amitriptilin zehirlenmesi ile başvuran iki olguda plazmaferez tedavisinin yüz güldürücü olduğu vurgulanmak istenmiştir.
