Plasmosorption is carried out by plasma perfusion through a sorbent. The procedure can be carried out in a continuous mode, and then the column with the sorbent is located in the extracorporeal circuit.
With intermittent blood fractionation, the resulting plasma is perfused through a sorbent in the recirculation mode by means of a pump. Purified from plasma slags intravenously reinfused to the patient. Column detoxifier can contain from 100 to 400 ml of sorbent.
Plasmosorption is considered sufficient for perfusion of 1.5-2 OCV through 200 ml of sorbent. Control over the effectiveness of detoxification is carried out by calculating the clearance and elimination of the test substance.
Mechanism of action
Plasmosorption aims to remove circulating large and medium molecular weight toxic substances. When the plasma is perfused through the sorbent, toxic metabolites are fixed on its surface and in the pores. The low viscosity of the plasma and the lack of uniform elements explain the greater efficiency of removal of exogenous toxic substances during plasmosorption in comparison with HS.
Expected effect of plasmosorption
Excretion of large and medium molecular toxic metabolites leads to an improvement in the general condition of the patient, creates favorable conditions for the functioning of all body systems.
Plasmosorption in combination with plasmapheresis and plasmodialysis contributes to the detoxification of the body over a wide range of toxic substances, which differ significantly in their physico-chemical properties and molecular weight. Complex detoxification of plasma has a beneficial effect on the function of all vital organs and systems of the patient.

Plasma methods of organism detoxication in acute endotoxicosis
Equipment |
For the separation of blood into blood elements and plasma, the following devices are used: |
System of highways |
In accordance with the methodology of the procedure, a set of trunks designed for this separator |
Vascular access |
Central Vienna |
Preliminary preparation |
Prior to the initiation of the removal of the patient's plasma (plasmapheresis), intravenous infusion of protein preparations is recommended, for example, 200 ml of plasma or colloids. |
Method of perfusion of blood |
When performing the procedure of continuous separation, blood from the patient through the system of lines is fed to a fractionating device (separating device) - a centrifuge or plasma filter - from a perfusion pump, from which it is diverted by two lines, one of which contains plasma and the other - a cellular suspension. |
Volume of perfusion of blood, plasma |
In the procedure of plasmapheresis, the volume of blood perfusion determines the hematocrit number. |
Recommended Modes |
In the centrifugal separation of blood, the rotor rotation speed is 1800-2300 rpm. |
Indications for use |
Plasmapheresis |
Contraindications |
Hypoproteinemia (total protein less than 40 g / l), acute cardiovascular failure (BP below 80/40 mm Hg), the risk of bleeding associated with heparinization of the patient, intolerance of foreign protein |
Complications |
In the procedures of plasmapheresis, plasmodialysis, plasmosorption, the following complications are possible: |
Blood perfusion rate |
Depends on the possibility of the separating device |
