The simultaneous application of intravenous fat emulsion and charcoal hemoperfusion in the case of severe quetiapine poisoning is described. The initial blood concentration of quetiapine was 5.9 µg/mL and rapid deterioration in the patient status was observed. When a lipid emulsion was infused a fast blood pressure recovery occurred which allows to perform extracorporeal clearance using charcoal hemoperfusion. At the end of the procedure the quetiapine concentration was decreased down to 1.5 µg//mL and fast recovery of the patient was observed.
