dc.description.abstractBackground and objectives: The incidence of poisoning due to snakebite and Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF), referred to as 'envenomation', varies according to the region, and many deaths occur every year. Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is a method of extracorporeal blood purification that clears toxins and virus load from the circulation. Therefore, its use has been increasing recently in envenomation cases. However, there are a limited number of studies on poisoning due to snakebite and CCHF. In the present study, we share our TPE experience retrospectively in patients diagnosed with poisoning due to snakebite and CCHF between 2010 and 2019. Materials and methods: A total of 26 patiens, including 20 patients with poisoning due to snakebite and 6 CCHF patients were treated with TPE. Demographic data, clinical status, and outcomes of patients were recorded. Routine biochemical and hematologic laboratory parameters were analyzed before and after TPE. TPE was performed by using centrifugation technology via a central venous catheter. Fresh frozen plasma was used as replacement fluid. Results: An average of 3.95 (1-11) apheresis sessions were applied to patients poisoned due to snakebite, and 19 patients (95 %) were discharged in an average of 8.3 (1-17) days without any complications. None of the patients enrolled in the study lost their limbs. Only one patient died due to disseminated intravascular coagulopathy. Six patients with CCHF who received 5 sessions of TPE on average were discharged successfully after an average of 6.5 days. No adverse events or complications were observed in any patient after TPE. Conclusions: TPE is a good alternative and a reliable method in treating envenomation cases who are refractory to supportive measures. TPE should be performed without delay in cases of poisoning due to snakebite and CCHF.en_US
