Abstract:
The second part of the review deals in detail with the diagnostics and treatment of toxic alcohols poisoning and management and indication of extracorporeal removal techniques in intoxication with other drugs, theophylline, valproic acid, metformin and metformin associated lactic acidosis, respectively.
