Prevention and Treatment for the Complication of Various Artificial Liver Support System in 191 Cases With Severe Hepatitis / 医学研究杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the safe model to prevent and treat complications caused by various artificial liver support system(ALSS).Methods The complications in 191 patients with severe hepatitis during the ALSS(Including plasma exchange、plasma exchange associated with continuous venovenous hemofiltration、plasma exchange associated with hemodiafiltration、plasma exchange associated with plasma absorption、molecular absorbents recycling system) treatment were observed and analyzed. Results During the treatment 287 episodes occurred and the rate of complications was 50.44%(287/569).The clinical manifestation included rash,numbness/tetany,hypotension,blood clotting in the channel,chest distress, disequilibrium syndrome,errhysis on dwell catheter,effusion on dwell catheter.75.61% of these complications was caused by plasma exchange.The rate of complications was the lowest during the treatment of plasma exchange associated with hemodiafiltration.All of these complications got better after prompt sypotomatic therapies were taken.Conclusions Although the rate of complications was high during the treatment of ALSS,all of the complications got better after prompt sypotomatic therapies were taken.This therapeusis must be performed by intensive care.It is more safe than others during the treatment of plasma exchange associated with hemodiafiltration.
