Objective: To evaluate the effect of hemoperfusion on tetramine poisoned patients.
Methods: Three tretramine poisoned cases treated with hemoperfusion were selected. The samples during and after hemoperfusion were collected and analyzed by gas chromatography.
Results: Tetramine concentration at the inlet of the artificial kidney kept the same level during hemoperfusion. After hemoperfusion, the tetramine concentration in patient plasma changed little in 72 hours. 1.03-1.55 mg of tetramine was adsorbed by the instrument of hemoperfusion after two hours' hemoperfusion.
Conclusion: Although hemoperfusion was not so effective to reduce blood tetramine concentration in patients, it could clear about 1 mg tetramine for one time.
