Envenenamiento por Paraquat y hemoperfusión con carbón activado

The Paraquat is a herbicide more using in Spain. In our country there are a few cases this intoxication and it presents a hight mortality even if the patients ingest a minimal amount. We present two cases of casual poisoning with paraquat. These patients were admited three hours after ingestion of toxic. They were treated with with orogastric lavage, activated charcoal, N-acetil-cysteina, Fuller's earth, catartics, support measuring and hemperfusion with activated charcoal, with this treatments both patients had a indetectable levels of paraquat 48 hours after and yours symptoms that was gastric and intestinal predominantly had missing. We present the graphics of evolution the plasmatic and urine levels of paraquat the both patients. We review the differents aspects of treatment and update of this intoxication.
