Randomized Controlled Trial
Early haemoperfusion with continuous venovenous haemofiltration improves survival of acute paraquat-poisoned patients.
To determine whether haemoperfusion (HP) with continuous venovenous haemofiltration (CVVH) improves the survival of patients with acute paraquat poisoning, compared with those treated using HP alone. ⋯ Combined therapy with HP and CVVH can prevent early death and prolong survival duration following acute paraquat poisoning, providing the opportunity for further treatment.
