What is Correspondence about?
We strongly recommend early, aggressive managemen t of theophylline intoxication whatever the initial serum concentration. Repeated doses of activated charcoal (0.5 to 1.0 g/kg every two to four hours) are the mainstay of therapy. 6 Antiemetics should be given as needed. Serum theophylline concentrations should be drawn and repeated hourly while they increase. If the patient exhibits seizures, hemodynamic instability, very high initial Serum levelsl refractory nausea and vomiting, agitation, or hyperreflexia, early consideration of charcoal hemoperfusion is warranted to avoid the high morbidity and mortality Of managing a theophylline-intoxicated patient in status epilepticus with a continually rising serum theophylline concentration.
