[Differential therapy of bromcarbamide poisoning with reference to primary detoxication by means of gastro- or duodenotomy].

Abstract

Different Therapy of Bromisoval Poisoning and Primary Detoxication by Gastrotomy or Duodenotomy: Bromisoval poisoning is encumbered with a high complication rate and mortality. Primary and secondary detoxication methods differ in efficacy and risk of the method. Primary detoxication deserves prefrence because it terminates the invasion of the poison, the duration of coma is shortened and complications due to poisoning are eliminated. An extremely effective, and at the same time involving little risk, primary detoxication can be undertaken by gastrotomy or duodenotomy, because the tablet substances remain visible for a long time as radiopaque conglomerates in the stomach and suprapapillary duodenum. In 5 cases with 30 to 70 g carbamide, the duration of the coma was cut by more than half compared with 25 equally severe poisoning treated in the usual manner.
