[A case of severe ethylene glycol poisoning treated successfully by V-V ECMO combined with blood purification]
Abstract:
Ethylene glycol, also known as glycol, is a common low-temperature antifreeze used in automobiles. It is a colorless, odorless, volatile, low-sweet, sticky liquid at room temperature. Ethylene glycol is easily decomposed and absorbed through the digestive tract. Toxic metabolites cause serious clinical symptoms such as central nervous system inhibition, metabolic acidosis, cardiopulmonary symptoms and renal insufficiency, and even death. Misuse and oral suicide are the main causes of ethylene glycol poisoning. This article reports a case of severe ethylene glycol poisoning admitted to the emergency department of the Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University in December 2021. After treatment with V-V ECMO combined with blood purification, the patient was improved and discharged from hospital.

Enhanced Elimination of Poison
Antidotes serve a crucial role in counteracting the effects of poison by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing harmful drug metabolites. In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.
