[Myocardial reserve during filtration detoxification in patients with suppurative peritonitis].

Feasibility of measuring functional reserve of the myocardium under functional loads simulated by extracorporeal circulation was tried in 36 patients with diffuse purulent peritonitis on filtration detoxication. Altogether 49 sessions of hemofiltration and filtration exchange plasmapheresis were performed controlled by tetrapolar rheography. It is demonstrated that persistent decline of systolic and cardiac output, an increase of central blood volume and occurrence of a pathological impedance wave in response to pre- and postload on the myocardium during extracorporeal detoxication may serve an indication of a subclinical myocardial failure. Detection of a reduced myocardial reserve suggests restriction of hemodilution in plasmapheresis and infusion therapy or lasix administration in postfiltration period.

[Hemofiltration in the terminal phase of diffuse suppurative peritonitis].

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.

[Preschool children's health in towns with different levels of environmental pollution].

A total of 3497 preschool children residing in the towns having with different man-made burden were examined. The study showed that most children referred to Health Groups 2 and 3. In the town with higher environmental pollution there were a larger proportion of children with dysfunctions of different organs and systems and higher incidence of diseases, including respiratory allergoses, etc.

[Choice of a method of extracorporeal detoxication in pyogenic peritonitis].

An experience of using discrete exchange plasmapheresis (DEP), filtration exchange plasmapheresis (FEP), hemofiltration (HF) and plasmafiltration (PF) in combination with ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of autoblood has been reviewed in 92 patients with pyogenic peritonitis. It has been shown that HF (PF) is an effective and pathogenetically grounded method of detoxication in patients with disseminated pyogenic peritonitis at a stage of polyorgan failure. FEP must be a method of choice during complex therapy at terminal phases of disseminated pyogenic peritonitis. The mechanisms of FEP therapeutic effect are based on elimination of a wide range of toxic substances, correction of severe metabolic disturbances, improvement of central and liver hemodynamics and, in combination with UV irradiation of autoblood, on bacteriocide and antihypoxic effect. The use of DEP is restricted to local pyogenic processes in the abdominal cavity.
