Abstract: Objective To observe the efficacy and nursing care of combined continuous veno-venous hemofiltration and bilirubin adsorption therapy in patients with hepatic failure. MethodsThe effectiveness, treatment duration,complication incidence,treatment costs and nursing workload were compared between 32 patients treated with combined continuous veno-venous hemofiltration and bilirubin adsorption therapy and 44 patients treated with sequential plasma adsorption and continuous renal replacement treatment. Results On the 7th day of treatment,the efficacy of combined continuous veno-venous hemofiltration and bilirubin adsorption therapy were superior to that of sequential plasma adsorption and continuous renal replacement treatment [total bilirubin (161.1±45.1)vs.(218.9±58.5) μmol/L,bile acid(130.5±60.5) vs. (198.6±49.6) μmol/L,aspartate aminotransferase (152.4±96.3) vs. (252.4±169.1) IU/L,alanine transaminase (147.2±72.6) vs.(220.1±110.3) IU/L,international normalized ratio (1.6±0.4) vs. (1.6±0.4),preparing time (1.0±0.1) vs. (1.3±0.1) h,treatment duration (7.2±0.5) vs. (11.1±0.7) h and treatment costs(11.0±1.0) vs.(13±1.0) grand RMB,P<0.05 for all]. Complication incidence in both groups showed no difference. ConclusionCombined continuous veno-venous hemofiltration and bilirubin adsorption therapy has preferable efficacy in treatment of patients with liver failure,and effectively reduces the nursing workload and treatment costs.
