title: [Study on the effect using hemoperfusion to treat tetramine poisoned patients].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the effect of hemoperfusion on tetramine poisoned patients.
  
  
  METHODS
  Three tretramine poisoned cases treated with hemoperfusion were selected. The samples during and after hemoperfusion were collected and analyzed by gas chromatography.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Tetramine concentration at the inlet of the artificial kidney kept the same level during hemoperfusion. After hemoperfusion, the tetramine concentration in patient plasma changed little in 72 hours. 1.03-1.55 mg of tetramine was adsorbed by the instrument of hemoperfusion after two hours' hemoperfusion.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Although hemoperfusion was not so effective to reduce blood tetramine concentration in patients, it could clear about 1 mg tetramine for one time.
