FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • How does it work?
    Hemoperfusion is an extracorporeal blood purification technique that involves circulating a patient's blood through an adsorption column, where targeted toxins and harmful substances are selectively removed from the bloodstream. A dual-lumen dialysis catheter is placed in a central vein, allowing blood to be withdrawn, purified through the column, and then returned to the patient. The adsorption process occurs as blood passes through the column, with toxins adhering to the adsorbent material based on their molecular properties. This method provides a rapid and efficient means of toxin removal, often leading to improved patient outcomes in cases of severe intoxication or poisoning. Hemoperfusion is selective in what it removes from the blood, making it a valuable tool for treating various conditions where traditional therapies may be ineffective. When performed by trained veterinary professionals and closely monitored, hemoperfusion is generally considered safe and can significantly contribute to the patient's recovery.
