Abstract
Provided is a method for treating or preventing peritonitis by administering a therapeutically effective amount of an oxidative reduction potential (ORP) water solution that is stable for at least about twenty-four hours. The ORP water solution administered in accordance with the invention can be combined with one or more suitable carriers and can be administered in conjunction with one or more additional therapeutic agents. Further provided is a method for preventing peritoneal hemorrhage, adhesions and abscesses.
Claims43
A method of preventing or treating peritonitis in a patient, the method comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of an oxidative reductive potential water solution, wherein the solution is stable for at least about two months, and the solution has a pH of from about 6.2 to about 7.8, a chlorine dioxide level that is less than about 5 ppm, and wherein the oxidative reductive potential water solution comprises one or more species selected from the group consisting of hypochlorous acid, hypochlorite ions, and combinations thereof.
A method of preventing peritoneal adhesions in a patient, the method comprising administering to the patient an oxidative reductive potential water solution in an amount effective to prevent peritoneal adhesions, wherein the solution is stable for at least about two months, and the solution has a pH of from about 6.2 to about 7.8, a chlorine dioxide level that is less than about 5 ppm, and wherein the oxidative reductive potential water solution comprises one or more species selected from the group consisting of hypochlorous acid, hypochlorite ions, and combinations thereof.
A method of preventing peritoneal abscesses in a patient, the method comprising administering to the patient an oxidative reductive potential water solution in an amount effective to prevent peritoneal abscesses, wherein the solution is stable for at least about two months, and the solution has a pH of from about 6.2 to about 7.8, a chlorine dioxide level that is less than about 5 ppm, and wherein the oxidative reductive potential water solution comprises one or more species selected from the group consisting of hypochlorous acid, hypochlorite ions, and combinations thereof.
A method of preventing systemic complications in a patient with peritonitis, the method comprising administering to the patient an oxidative reductive potential water solution in an amount effective to prevent peritoneal adhesions, wherein the solution is stable for at least about-two months, and the solution has a pH of from about 6.2 to about 7.8, a chlorine dioxide level that is less than about 5 ppm, and wherein the oxidative reductive potential water solution comprises one or more species selected from the group consisting of hypochlorous acid, hypochlorite ions, and combinations thereof.
