He needed venoarterial ECMO for hemodynamic support and TPE to remove protein-bound amlodipine. The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for cardiotoxic poisoning and Total Plasma Exchange (TPE) in removing drugs has been described in�the literature. We report a rare case where both lifesaving extracorporeal therapies were used in a patient with a severe drug overdose. Stabilizing hemodynamics with ECMO combined with TPE for drug removal is a feasible strategy in unstable patients with amlodipine overdose. � 2019, The Japanese Society for Artificial Organs. | Source Title: | Journal of Artificial Organs | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/162787 | ISSN: | 14347229 | DOI: | 10.1007/s10047-019-01132-4 |
