Paraquat Poisoning: Survival after Oral Ingestion

“…It has been suggested that removal of paraquat from the blood with hemoperfusion provides better clearance of paraquat than hemodialysis, and that the use of hemoperfusion within 12 hours of poisoning may reduce mortality [15]. CVVH may improve survival, reduce organ dysfunction, and prolong the survival time for patients to receive additional treatments [16][17][18][19]. In one study, survival rates for patients who received early hemoperfusion were more than double those who did…”

“…-HP results in a more rapid reduction of paraquat plasma and early initiation can be predictive of survival [18,23] -CVVH may prolong the survival time for patients to receive additional treatments [16,17] Study Type(s): Reference(s):…”

Does hemoperfusion in combination with other treatments reduce the mortality of patients with paraquat poisoning more than hemoperfusion alone: A systematic review with meta-analysis

“…Until now, there are five meta-analyses about treatment of PQ poisoning. [1516171819] Agarwal et al ., Li et al ., and He et al . reported meta-analysis about the effect of pulse immunosuppressive and glucocorticoid therapy, which showed a beneficial effect.…”

“…[151618] CVVH prolonged the survival time of the patients without significant effect on mortality. [19] Li et al . reported a meta-analysis about the reducing effect of HP on mortality.…”
