[Hemodynamic aspects of the use of hemodialysis and hemofiltration in patients with low cardiac output syndrome in the postoperative period].

Central hemodynamics and oxygen balance have been studied in 23 patients with low cardiac output syndrome during postoperative hemofiltration and acetate hemodialysis. Hemodialysis and hemofiltration caused considerable changes in circulation whose nature depended both on the initial state of central hemodynamics and oxygen balance and on detoxication technique. The data have been obtained that hemofiltration as a technique of extracorporeal detoxication was preferable in patients with postoperative low cardiac output syndrome.
