Key Points

• The aim is to compare the effectiveness of different interventions for clearing caffeine in cases of severe intoxication.
• Conducted a comparative case series analysis
• Evaluated hemodialysis, hemoadsorption, and continuous kidney replacement therapy
• Assessed caffeine clearance rates and detoxification speed in severe cases.
• Hemodialysis and hemoadsorption provided the highest caffeine clearance rates.
• Rapid detoxification was achieved with hemodialysis and hemoadsorption.
• Continuous kidney replacement therapy proved beneficial when other methods were not suitable.
