Acute caffeine poisoning caused ventricular fibrillation and coma. Emergency hemoperfusion rapidly resolved symptoms, restoring consciousness and heart rhythm.

Area of Science:

  • Toxicology
  • Cardiology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Acute caffeine poisoning is a potentially life-threatening condition.
  • Ventricular fibrillation and coma are severe manifestations requiring urgent intervention.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with acute caffeine poisoning, exhibiting ventricular fibrillation and coma.
  • Emergency hemoperfusion was initiated as a treatment modality.

Findings:

  • Hemoperfusion led to a dramatic improvement in clinical symptomatology.
  • Arrhythmias resolved, and the patient regained normal consciousness within five hours.

Implications:

  • Hemoperfusion is an effective emergency treatment for severe caffeine intoxication.
