The patient was brought to IGH in an unconscious condition and was immediately admitted to the Intensive Care Unit. He was detected with Paraquat, a highly lethal poison with an almost 100 percent mortality rate if not treated promptly. Paraquat poisoning has no antidote, and the only effective life-saving intervention is Hemoperfusion Dialysis, which must be initiated within 24 hours to remove the toxin from the bloodstream.

Hemoperfusion is a highly challenging and advanced dialysis technique in which poisonous substances are removed from the blood by passing it through a special dialyser, while preserving essential body proteins. The procedure requires specialized equipment, expertise, and precise monitoring.

Considering the critical time factor, Dr. S. K. Rout, Chief Nephrologist, IGH, along with his dedicated team, decided to perform the complex procedure using the hospital’s existing facilities. The timely intervention proved successful, following which the patient showed significant improvement. His vital parameters stabilized, and he was closely monitored for ten days to rule out any complications.

The procedure and post-treatment care were supported by the committed efforts of nursing and technical staff, including Sister Anita, Sister Munita, technicians Dhananjaya, Srabani, Mahima, and other members of the Artificial Kidney Unit, who worked tirelessly for the patient’s recovery.

Dr. Rout has said that IGH is now fully capable of managing poisoning cases requiring Hemoperfusion Dialysis if patients are brought in at the right time, eliminating the need for referral to Bhubaneswar for such treatment.

It is noteworthy that the Artificial Kidney Unit of IGH was established in 1984 and has been serving patients from Rourkela and neighboring regions ever since. The unit provides comprehensive kidney care services, including kidney biopsy, permanent catheter insertion, hemodialysis, plasmapheresis, and other advanced renal therapies. The PMJAY empanelled hospital is well equipped to serve advanced treatment to patients with kidney-related ailments.
