| Abstract: | AIM: To compare therapeutic effectiveness of cryosupernatant plasma fraction (CSP) and fresh-frozen plasma (FFP) in long-term infectious-septic DIC syndrome arising in acute abscess and gangrene of the lung. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 106 and 131 patients with infectious-septic DIC syndrome were treated with CSP and FFP, respectively. The results of the treatment were compared clinically and hemotopogically. RESULTS: Clinical response to both treatments was evident from positive changes in XIIa-dependent fibrinolysis, lowering of fibrinogen level and enhanced activity of antithrombin III. CSP treatment brought about a decrease in the number of thromboses, lethal cases, unfavorable outcomes. CONCLUSION: The cryosupernatant can be used instead of fresh-frozen plasma in combined treatment of long-standing infectious-septic DIC syndrome. |
