  2. *Regardless of antidote
  3. **The panel noted several cases where clearance was calculated using plasma concentration and blood flow [160, 163, 164, 168, 178, 342] which will overestimate ECTR clearance. When noted, clearances were recalculated with the given or estimated hematocrit
  4. ***Assuming new technology
