[Experience in the treatment of severe forms of sepsis by extracorporeal therapy and hyperbaric oxygenation]
Abstract:
The results of multiple modality treatment of 81 patients with sepsis complicated by multiple organ failure are assessed. In 40 patients the traditional therapy of sepsis was supplemented with extracorporeal methods (hemoperfusion, autotransfusion of UV-exposed blood, and perfusion of xenospleen slices) and hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) sessions. In the patients treated traditionally the mortality was 94%, whereas addition of extracorporeal treatment and HBO decreased this value to 40%. Hence, extracorporeal treatment and HBO are recommended for the treatment of sepsis.

Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...
