چکیده

OBJECTIVE This study was aimed to analyze the scavenging effect of haemoperfusion on plasma paraquat (PQ) and to evaluate the clinical significance of PQ examination in the treatment of patients with acute paraquat poisoning. METHODS 85 patients with acute paraquat intoxication by oral ingestion were admitted in West China Hospital from Jun, 2010 to Mar, 2011. A standardized therapeutic regimen including emergency haemoperfusion was given on all subjects. A total of 91 whole blood samples were taken before (0 h), underway (1 h after haemoperfusion beginning) and at the end (2 h) of the haemoperfusion therapy. The clearance rate was calculated and related factors were analyzed. RESULTS As heamoperfusion was going on, the plasma paraquat concentration of the patients kept falling down. After 1 hour of haemoperfusion, the average clearance rate (R(1)) was 37.06±21.81%. After 2 hours of haemoperfusion, the average clearance rate (R(2)) was 45.99±23.13%. The average of R(1)/R(2) ratio was 76.61±22.80%. In the high paraquat concentration group (plasma paraquat concentration (C(0)) >300 ng/mL), both the averages of R(1) and R(2) were significantly higher than those of the low paraquat concentration group (C(0)≤200 ng/mL) (p<0.05), and there was no significant difference of R(1)/R(2) between these two groups (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The dynamic monitoring of plasma PQ concentration was not only critical in the clinical evaluation but also helpful in guiding the treatment of patients with acute PQ intoxication. Haemoperfusion can effectively eliminate paraquat from the plasma in patients with high initial plasma PQ concentration, while in patients with low initial plasma PQ concentration (<200 ng/ml), the clearance effect of harmoperfusion was very limited. Increasing HP time might improve the overall clearance rate of HP on plasma PQ yet decrease the elimination efficiency of HP, while repeated HP treatment was helpful against the rebound phenomena.

Prediction of Patient Survival in Cases of Acute Paraquat Poisoning

Paraquat concentration-time data have been used to predict the clinical outcome following ingestion. However, these studies have included only small populations, although paraquat poisoning has a very high mortality rate. The purpose of this study was to develop a simple and reliable model to predict survival according to the time interval post-ingestion in patients with acute paraquat poisonin...

Prediction of outcome following paraquat poisoning by arterial lactate concentration-time data

The present study retrospectively analyzed 170 patients diagnosed with paraquat (PQ) poisoning with the aim of clarifying whether the arterial lactate-time (arterial lactate concentration × time between ingestion and arterial lactate measurement) was a good predictor of mortality in patients with acute PQ poisoning. The results indicated that there was a positive correlation between the arteria...
