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
