[Biosorption with extracorporeal use of heterologous spleen in the complex treatment od suppurative-septic diseases].

The search for new methods in the control of purulent infection is highly topical nowadays. For this purpose a complex of intensive therapy is suggested involving hemosorption via the patient's blood perfusion through porcine heterospleen. By literature and experimental data this technique is not inferior in efficacy to the use of the donor spleen.

[Extracorporeal connection of heterologous spleen (ECHS) in the combined intensive therapy of sepsis].

Biohemosorption by means of extracorporeal connection of heterogeneous spleen renders not only powerful detoxic action, but intensive immunomodulation action as well. Swine spleen used for biohemosorption possess high bacterisorptive and immunomodulating potential. The cases of persistent course of disease, development of antibacterial therapy, grave condition of a patient serve as an indication for application of extracoproreal connection of heterogeneous spleen within the complex of intensive therapy.
