Abstract: | For detoxication purposes in the early postresuscitation period hemadsorption on activated charcoal was used. Hemadsorption in dogs resuscitated after circulatory arrest for 15 min as a result of electric shock led to earlier recovery of the corneal reflexes and significantly improved the outcome of resuscitation both by removal of incompletely oxidized metabolic products and also, perhaps, removal of other toxic products.Research Laboratory of General Resuscitation, Moscow.
