[Effectiveness of plasmapheresis and its modifications in the treatment of cardiosurgical patients]
Abstract:
The efficiency of plasmapheresis in the treatment of infectious complications and multiple organ dysfunctions was evaluated in 66 patients after heart surgery. Early plasmapheresis attenuated the cytokine-related systemic inflammatory response and organ damage. The optimal use of plasmapheresis modifications (membrane plasma filtration, plasma carboperfusion, cryoapheresis) improved the clinical outcomes.
