[The role of hemosorption in preventing and treating pulmonary disorders in patients with peritonitis and acute intestinal obstruction].

An analysis of treatment and examination of 80 patients with peritonitis and acute intestinal obstruction of different etiology has been made when hemosorption was used for struggle against intoxication. It has been shown that hemosorption possessing a potent detoxicating effect considerably facilitates activation of the non-gas-exchange functions of the lungs. However, losses of the surfactant synthesis components during hemocarboperfusion as well as absorption of oxygen by certain sorts of charcoal (SKN-4M, SKN-1K) results in arterial hypoxemia.

[Toxemia syndrome in patients with acute intestinal obstruction].

The results of examination and treatment of 216 patients with acute intestinal obstruction of benign genesis are discussed. The values of blood plasma toxicity and the values of hemostasis determined before and after the operation were compared. Intoxication of patients was found to increase in the postoperative period.

[Functional state of the lungs in toxemia in peritonitis and acute intestinal obstruction].

On the basis of examination of 214 patients, it was established that the pronounced intoxication syndrome developing in peritonitis and acute ileus led to disorders in the non-respiratory pulmonary functions. This contributes to the development of arterial hypoxemia, hypocapnia and acute respiratory failure. In the complex of treatment of the patients, it is expedient to use extracorporeal desintoxication.

[Effect of postoperative hemosorption on pulmonary function in patients with acute intestinal obstruction].

The effect of postoperative hemosorption (HS) on the pulmonary functions in 55 patients with acute ileus was studied. The severity of the state of the patients was conditioned by intoxication leading to ++over-stress of the non-respiratory pulmonary functions and development of I-II stage acute respiratory failure. HS contributes to detoxication of an organism, but is accompanied by the mean 30-35% loss of the oxygen on the adsorbent resulting in development of arterial hypoxemia.
