What Researchers Did
Researchers reviewed experimental and clinical data on using assisted blood circulation, blood exchange, hemoperfusion, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat exotoxic shock caused by methemoglobin-forming and corrosive poisons.
What They Found
The study found that assisted circulation methods, including hyperbaric therapy, were highly effective in normalizing central blood flow, liver and kidney function, and blood clotting in both humans and animals suffering from exotoxic shock. These methods allowed for successful blood exchange and hemoperfusion, improving overall internal body conditions. The approach was recommended for widespread use in large reanimation and toxicology centers.
