[The results of using pseudoplasmapheresis in bronchial asthma (a preliminary report)].
The authors provide the results of the treatment of 15 patients with infectious bronchial asthma by plasmapheresis (PA). All the patients received PA in accordance with the techniques developed by the authors. These techniques simulate standard procedures using a plasticized container and a refrigerator centrifuge. As a result of the studies carried out, it has been concluded that the clinical efficacy of false PA is similar to that of routine PA as regards the clinical manifestations of bronchial asthma. Apparently, the elimination effect and the effect of red blood cells plasma withdrawal are of no material importance in the mechanism by which PA influences bronchial asthma. The psychosomatic causes, effects of temporary blood loss, blood contact with polymeric materials, and the influence of temporary blood cooling may be under discussion.
