Will hemoperfusion work to remove propofol from the blood during an overdose? (hypothetically)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Charcol hemoperfusion can remove excessive propofol from the blood stream. Propofol usually has a fast clearance from the body, but long term adminstration can cause dangerous overdose symptions.
