[Plasmapheresis in severe forms of suppurative-septic diseases in children].

Under analysis is the first experience with the application of discrete plasmapheresis in 44 children aged from 6 months to 14 years for detoxication of severe forms of pyo-septic diseases. The method of discrete plasmapheresis is described. The method was shown to have a favourable influence upon hemodynamics and some parameters of the cell and humoral immunity. The application of discrete plasmapheresis resulted in rapid liquidation of endotoxicosis, less lethality and shorter time of treatment at the hospital. Wider introduction of discrete plasmapheresis in children with pyo-septic diseases is recommended.
