[Experimental use of extracorporeal hemosorption during the postresuscitation period]

Hemosorption on activated charcoal was used during an early postreanimation period of detoxication of the organism. Hemosorption in experimental dogs resuscitated after a 15-minute circulatory arrest caused by electrotrauma promoted earlier restoration of the corneal reflexes and improved the outcome of resuscitation considerably both on account of elimination of acid metabolites and possibly of other toxins.
