[New methods for assessing the severity of endogenous intoxication in surgical patients]. / Novye metody otsenki tiazhesti éndogennoi intoksikatsii u khirurgicheskikh bol'nykh.

ABSTRACT

New methods (a reticulocytic test, inhibition of erythrocyte sedimentation, registration of the frog's heart rate) were used in studying the toxicity of the serum, blood plasma and urine of surgical patients. The most informative methods for the assessment of the toxemia degree are thought to be the reticulocytic test and registration of the frog's heart rate. The maximum time for the determination of endotoxicity is 15 minutes. The pathological process severity can be estimated not only by the toxemia degree but also by its dynamics. The determination of endotoxicity is of value for choosing the methods for the individual detoxication therapy.
