Deltamethrin is highly effective in killing bugs and is added to many insecticide products. However, it is poisonous to humans too. Here listed a case of a person who was almost killed by the chemical material but ended up escaping from the dead with the help of Jafron's HA230 hemoperfusion therapy.

Case Review

Pham Ngoc Ch, 70 years old, from Vietnam, was sent to the hospital due to being severely poisoned by deltamethrin. One hour before sending to the hospital, Pham drank a bottle of insecticide. It didn't take long for him to fall into a deep coma and respiratory failure. His pulse was racing, and his blood pressure was rising. 

He was severely poisoned by deltamethrin. The doctor took urgent steps, including hemoperfusion. After two days of treatment with the help of Jafron's HA230, Pham was restored to a stable condition.

Doctor Ha The Linh, working in the emergency department of Tỉnh Phú Thọ Hospital, said deltamethrin poisoning is too rare to have the targeted antitoxin, and hemoperfusion plays a vital role in this treatment. The doctor also appreciated Jafron for providing HA230 hemoperfusion cartridges, which have saved lives suffered from poisoning in Vietnam. 

How Does HA230 Help

This case is a typical application of HA230 in severe emergency cases. HA230 is a disposable hemoperfusion cartridge for patients suffering from acute pesticides, herbicide poisoning, industrial poisoning, and biological poison ^[1]. 

Compared to the activated carbon, HA230 has higher blood compatibility, which generates less influence on blood and lower degranulation.^[2] And for the container, HA230 applies resin material with advanced coating technology, avoiding contaminating the adsorbent and achieving stable capability. ^[3] 

Claudio Ronco, chairman of the IRRIV, delivered his paper Fluid Dynamics Analysis by CT Imaging Technique of New Sorbent Cartridges for Extracorporeal Therapies in the Journal of Blood Purification. The study proved that the design of HA230 can optimize the therapeutic effects of the adsorbent and illustrate the products of Jafron in terms of safety, clinical outcomes, and compatibility with other treatments. ^[4]

Conclusion 

People may be trapped in a state of danger from drugs and household products like pesticides to industrial chemicals. Even worse, some poisonings do not have the antidote.^[5] In those severe cases, removing toxins can be the most effective way, and it is when adsorption can play its role. For years, cases involving acute poisoning have proved its efficacy.
