Veterinary Toxicity Casebook: From Critical Care to Full Recovery with Hemoperfusion

Discover how hemoperfusion is improving outcomes in patients with severe toxicities – from common over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen to prescription drugs like baclofen.

In this eBook, we will share real canine toxicity cases where hemoperfusion was incorporated into treatment to help critically ill patients make a full recovery. These cases will highlight how this novel therapeutic option can help to reduce hospitalization times, minimize complications, and save lives.

Included in this eBook:

Up-to-date stats on leading toxicities
Key drug profile data
Case reports covering five drugs

On-Demand Webinar: Rethinking Poisoning Protocols – Exploring the Utility of Hemoperfusion in Veterinary Practice

Watch this webinar to discover how hemoperfusion works, both in principle and in practice, with case studies presented by Jiwoong Her, DVM, MS, DACVECC (Associate Professor at North Carolina State College of Veterinary Medicine).

Human medicine has long embraced extracorporeal therapy for efficiently removing toxins from the blood. Years of focus on engineering hardware, software and filter technology specifically for companion animals have now optimized this life-saving technology for veterinary medicine.

In this webinar, discover how hemoperfusion works, both in principle and in practice. Dr. Jiwoong Her, Associate Professor at North Carolina State College of Veterinary Medicine, shares how he has used hemoperfusion to treat patients with severe intoxication.

Key talking points include:

Brief explanation of hemoperfusion and its uses
Overview of current hemoperfusion technology
Review of multiple cases that demonstrate how hemoperfusion works in practice

Case Report: Canine Aspirin Toxicity

In this case report from Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine’s Henry and Lois Foster Hospital for Small Animals, learn how a combination of intralipid emulsion therapy and hemoperfusion helped this 7-year-old pit bull make a complete recovery after he was believed to have eaten a bottle of aspirin.

On-Demand Webinar: Beyond Basic Care – Maximizing Toxicity Treatment Efficacy with Carbon Hemoperfusion

Watch this webinar now to hear from a leader in veterinary extracorporeal therapies how hemoperfusion stands apart, offering faster, highly effective, and broader-spectrum toxin removal.

Traditional medical management is limited for treating severe toxicities. Many patients aren’t brought in for treatment until hours after ingestion, when the toxin has been fully absorbed into the bloodstream. In these cases, extracorporeal therapies (ECTs) should be considered to remove the toxin from the blood, to promote faster recovery and prevent long-term organ damage.

In this webinar, Jethro Forbes, DVM, DACVECC (Assistant Clinical Professor, Section of Emergency and Critical Care at Cornell University) shares his clinical experience treating toxicities with extracorporeal therapies, with a focus on carbon hemoperfusion. Dr. Forbes explains how hemoperfusion stands apart from other extracorporeal techniques, offering faster, highly effective, and broader-spectrum toxin removal.

Key talking points include:

The underlying science of how hemoperfusion works
Considerations for when to use hemoperfusion
Which toxicities respond best to this therapy
Practical takeaways from real-world case examples

On-Demand Webinar: Product Spotlight – Carbon Hemoperfusion for Veterinary Practice

Watch this webinar now to get a behind-the-scenes look at how AimaLojic’s proprietary hemoperfusion technology works.

Hemoperfusion (HP) is an effective treatment option for many toxicities commonly seen in veterinary practice today. Compared to standard medical management and other extracorporeal treatment options like dialysis and therapeutic plasma exchange, HP offers a fast and cost-effective solution to help prevent long-term organ damage in severely poisoned patients.

In this free webinar, get a behind-the-scenes look at how AimaLojic’s proprietary hemoperfusion technology filters toxins safely and quickly from the blood. Learn what makes AimaLojic carbon filters superior to other adsorbent filtration technology, and watch a quick walkthrough of the ReVive HP System, from treatment set-up through completion.

A new study highlights the high clinical efficacy of carbon hemoperfusion (HP) for treating NSAID toxicosis in dogs. The study included 18 canine patients who ingested various NSAIDS (ibuprofen, carprofen, naproxen, meloxicam) and were treated with carbon HP alone or in combination with dialysis. Carbon HP significantly reduced NSAID concentrations in the plasma. Researchers also noted that carbon HP was more effective than dialysis in NSAID removal and recommended not using dialysis alone to treat these intoxications due to a less efficient extraction ratio.

AimaLojic Blog Images_HP in Practice - Treating Severe Ibuprofen Toxicities

On-Demand Webinar: Hemoperfusion in Practice – Treating Severe Ibuprofen Toxicities

Watch now learn how hemoperfusion compares to standard medical management and other extracorporeal therapies for treating ibuprofen toxicities.

Ibuprofen is a leading cause of small animal toxicity. Found in many over-the-counter medications and often manufactured with a sweet coating, ibuprofen is frequently ingested by dogs and cats. Due to its narrow margin of safety, and availability in large doses, ibuprofen overdoses can quickly escalate from mild to life-threatening.

In cases of severe intoxication, medical management alone is often not enough. To accelerate drug elimination and prevent long-term organ damage, hemoperfusion (HP) is an effective therapy to consider.

In this webinar, Etienne Escande, DVM walks through the principles of hemoperfusion, with a focus on treating severe ibuprofen toxicity. Attendees will learn how HP compares to standard medical management and other extracorporeal therapies, including therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE). Dr. Escande will also discuss a recent case in which HP played a critical role in his patient’s full recovery.

Key topics explored:

Drug profiles and risks of ibuprofen toxicity
Overview of HP and its role in severe toxicity treatment
Why HP is especially effective in ibuprofen overdose cases
