    Abstract Introduction: Orphenadrine overdoses can cause antimuscarinic toxicity, respiratory failure, refractory seizures and cardiotoxicity. The dose-toxicity relationship is poorly defined. Orphenadrine is marketed as immediate and sustained release formulations, and it is not known how the formulation impacts on toxicity. We determined the clinical toxicity of orphenadrine in patients referred to a regional poisons centre.
    Methods: Retrospective case series of patients in New South Wales with orphenadrine deliberate self-poisoning from January 2016 to April 2022 referred to the New South Wales Poisons Information Centre. Demographics, history of exposure, treatment and outcomes were extracted from clinical databases. Receiver-operating characteristic curves were constructed to determine thresholds predicting toxicity.
    Results: Forty-eight patients were identified, with information on clinical outcomes in 46 patients and doses in 41 patients. All patients were older than 12 years. The median orphenadrine dose was 770 mg (range 210-10,000 mg), 59 per cent as the immediate release formulation, and 67 per cent reported coingestants. Doses of sustained release formulations were significantly greater than immediate release formulations, median 2,750 mg versus 595 mg. Common clinical features were drowsiness (59 per cent), sinus tachycardia (37 per cent) and confusion (33 per cent). Three patients had mild hypotension, three were intubated for coma, and two had seizures; no patients suffered ventricular dysrhythmias. All patients survived, with 75 per cent being medically cleared within 24 hours of presentation. A dose-toxicity relationship was observed, but conclusions are limited by the small number of cases with moderate or severe toxicity.
    Discussion: All patients survived, and severe cardiac and neurological toxicity were not observed. This contrasts to published case reports noting severe poisoning at similar or lower doses. Formulation may have an impact on outcomes, with lesser toxicity from sustained release products.
    Conclusions: Orphenadrine doses up to 10 g were associated with antimuscarinic toxicity and sedation, but not severe cardiotoxicity. More research exploring the effect of dose and formulation on outcomes is required.

    Abstract Poisoning occurs after exposure to any of a number of substances, including medicines, which can result in severe toxicity including death. The nephrologist may be involved in poisonings that cause kidney disease and for targeted treatments. The overall approach to the poisoned patient involves the initial acute resuscitation and performing a risk assessment, whereby the exposure is considered in terms of the anticipated severity and in the context of the patient's status and treatments that may be required. Time-critical interventions such as gastrointestinal decontamination ( e.g. , activated charcoal) and antidotes are administered when indicated. The nephrologist is usually involved when elimination enhancement techniques are required, such as urine alkalinization or extracorporeal treatments. There is increasing data to guide decision making for the use of extracorporeal treatments in the poisoned patient. Principles to consider are clinical indications such as whether severe toxicity is present, anticipated, and/or will persist and whether the poison will be significantly removed by the extracorporeal treatment. Extracorporeal clearance is maximized for low-molecular weight drugs that are water soluble with minimal protein binding (<80%) and low endogenous clearance and volume of distribution. The dosage of some antidotes ( e.g. , N-acetylcysteine, ethanol, fomepizole) should be increased to maintain therapeutic concentrations once the extracorporeal treatment is initiated. To maximize the effect of an extracorporeal treatment, blood and effluent flows should be optimized, the filter with the largest surface area selected, and duration tailored to remove enough poison to reduce toxicity. Intermittent hemodialysis is recommended in most cases when an extracorporeal treatment is required because it is the most efficient, and continuous kidney replacement therapy is prescribed in some circumstances, particularly if intermittent hemodialysis is not readily available.

    Abstract Introduction: Metformin-associated lactic acidosis is a well-described and commonly encountered condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Patients with metformin-associated lactic acidosis are frequently managed in the intensive care unit with supportive care, including volume resuscitation and consideration of an extracorporeal treatment to correct metabolic acidemia and remove metformin and lactate.
    Extracorporeal treatments in poisoning workgroup: The Extracorporeal Treatments in Poisoning Workgroup published evidence-based consensus recommendations in 2015 regarding the use of extracorporeal treatment in metformin toxicity. These recommendations list both clinical and biochemical indications, and they outline the rationale and evidence supporting each recommendation.
    New research since recommendations were published: Subsequent publications have provided new information regarding metformin-associated lactic acidosis and its treatment. A retrospective study showed that patients who did not meet the Extracorporeal Treatments in Poisoning Workgroup criteria for initiation of an extracorporeal treatment had a 100% survival. In patients who met the criteria, survival was approximately 75%; only 66% of these patients received an extracorporeal treatment, and this treatment did not appear to impact survival. Two other retrospective studies in patients diagnosed with metformin-associated lactic acidosis noted that extracorporeal treatments did not improve survival. However, those who received an extracorporeal treatment were more severely ill, potentially supporting a benefit from this intervention. A systematic review of patients receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy identified an overall survival that was higher than the overall survival in patients included in the Workgroup publication. This led the authors to suggest that intermittent hemodialysis may not be the preferred treatment for metformin toxicity. However, a closer look at the Workgroup data identified improved survival with each decade since the initial reports in the 1970s. Furthermore, there are multiple reports of persistent metformin-associated lactic acidosis that did not improve with standard continuous kidney replacement therapy, prompting an increase in the dosage of the extracorporeal treatment. The data supporting these observations are largely derived from retrospective studies, which have inherent biases, so prospective studies are required.
    Prescribing extracorporeal treatments for patients with metformin poisoning: Case-based decision-making is always necessary, but in general, we continue to follow the Extracorporeal Treatments in Poisoning Workgroup criteria because a convincing reason for changing these has not yet been presented. This includes the use of intermittent hemodialysis where possible, particularly in cases of severe poisoning. For patients with less severe poisoning or when intermittent hemodialysis is not readily available, it is reasonable to trial continuous modalities with careful observation for deterioration.
