[Status of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems during immunosorption]

Blood was perfused through 2 series connected columns during immunosorption. The first column contained a mixture of immunosorbent and activated carbon, the second activated carbon only. In most patients the perfusion time was 40 min, and the volume of perfused blood 2000 ml. The procedure was performed under the conditions of operative control over the state of the cardiovascular and respiratory system using a monitor-computer system KOMPAS-01 in order to follow 5 hemodynamics values and 10 values of external respiration. A considerable effect of the procedure on the patients' hemodynamic patterns was revealed during hemosorption. These changes manifested themselves mainly in a decrease in stroke volume, cardiac output and changes in rate of the heart beat. External respiration values were more stable.
