A medical premiere for Moldova at the “Gheorghe Paladi” Municipal Clinical Hospital, where a procedure of hemoadsorption was performed on a critically ill patient with a severe abdominal infection and peritonitis. The intervention uses a technology that filters the blood to reduce the body’s inflammatory response, reports IPN.
The patient was admitted to the Anesthesia and Intensive Care unit with an infection that could cause sepsis and multiple organ failure. After the case was evaluated by a multidisciplinary team, the doctors decided to include the hemoadsorption procedure in the complex treatment plan.
According to the hospital, the procedure involves passing the blood through a special filter, which removes some of the substances responsible for the body’s excessive inflammatory response. Thus, the therapy complements the usual treatment and can contribute to improving the condition of critically ill patients.
The representatives of the institution say that the use of the Purify system together with the CytoSorb filter is a first for the Republic of Moldova and expands the treatment possibilities for patients with sepsis, septic shock, and other severe inflammatory syndromes. According to them, the technology is used in medical centers in other countries and represents a step forward for the development of intensive therapy in the Republic of Moldova.
