Experimental and clinical data on the employment of assisted circulation with extracorporeal oxygenation of the blood, exchange replacement of the blood in high volumes, hemoperfusion, and hyperbaric therapy in the treatment of exotoxic shock caused by methemoglobin-forming and corrosive poisons demonstrate a high efficacy of assisted circulation in the normalization of central hemodynamics (which permits exchange replacement of the blood and hemoperfusion), of the hepatorenal function, hemostasis, and other parameters of the internal media in humans and animals. The method is recommended for wide use at large reanimation and toxicological centers.
