Abstract |
Hemofiltration was for the first time used in multiple-modality treatment of 26 patients with peritonitis in the terminal phase with symptoms of organic and multi-organ insufficiency. Indications to and contraindications against this treatment modality were developed, as was the optimal scheme of hemofiltration in peritonitis patients. This method was found the most effective in patients with symptoms of multi-organ insufficiency ( respiratory distress syndrome, nephropathy, hypodynamic syndrome, toxic and hypotoxic edema of the brain). Inclusion of this method into the complex of therapeutic measures has helped prolong the intensive care of peritonitis patients in the terminal phase in the majority of cases. Fourteen patients died, the death rate has made up 53.8 percent.
