Early hemoperfusion may improve survival of severely paraquat-poisoned patients.
BACKGROUND: Thousands of paraquat (PQ)-poisoned patients continue to die, particularly in developing countries. Although animal studies indicate that hemoperfusion (HP) within 2-4 h after intoxication effectively reduces mortality, the effect of early HP in humans remains unknown. METHODS: We analyz...
