Early Stage Blood Purification for Paraquat Poisoning: A Multicenter Retrospective Study.
Blood Purification 2016
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy of conservative treatment vs. hemoperfusion (HP) vs. HP + continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) for acute Paraquat (PQ) poisoning.
METHODS: This was a multicenter retrospective study of patients with PQ poisoning between January 2013 and June 2014. Clinical data and PQ serum levels were collected at baseline and after 24, 48, and 72 h of treatment.
RESULTS: Seventy-five, 65, and 43 underwent conservative treatment only (conservative treatment group), conservative treatment + HP (HP group), and conservative treatment + HP + CVVH (HP + CVVH group), respectively. PQ serum levels decreased in all groups after 72 h of treatment (p < 0.001); meanwhile, these values decreased faster in the HP and HP + CVVH groups compared with the conservative treatment group. More importantly, PQ blood levels were significantly lower in the HP + CVVH group compared with the HP group at 24 h (p < 0.05). Sequential organ failure assessment (ΔSOFA) values in the HP and HP + CVVH groups were significantly lower compared with that obtained for the conservative treatment group (p < 0.05). The 60-day survival rates were 21.3, 43.1 and 46.5%, respectively. Multivariate analysis indicated that age, PQ dose, admission PQ levels, and admission SOFA score were independently associated with mortality. HP and HP + CVVH were protective factors.
CONCLUSION: Early HP or HP + CVVH after PQ poisoning could decrease PQ blood levels, alleviate organ damage, and increase survival.
