The hemodynamic criteria of the efficacy of cascade filtration exchange plasmapheresis in diffuse suppurative peritonitis

The influence of the cascade filtration exchange plasmapheresis on the central and organ haemodynamics was studied in 15 patients in the terminal phase of diffuse purulent peritonitis. The procedure was found to be followed by the activation of the cardio-vascular system function if it was initially depressed and by its weakening in cases of excessive strain. The worse functional state of haemodynamics 1 day after plasmapheresis is the earliest symptom of progressing endotoxemia and is though to be an indication for redetoxication.
