Multicenter Observational Prospective Open Pilot Study of Changes in the Total Clearance of Antibacterial Agents During Hemoperfusion Using Efferon LPS in Patients With Sepsis
One of the significants health problems in the world is sepsis, with the number of cases reaching 20-30 million per year, according to the WHO. Numerous studies have shown that the use of extracorporeal methods improves outcomes in patients with septic shock. Safety parameters are particularly important in deciding whether to initiate such therapy in a patient. To date, numerous post-marketing observations and data from the published literature have shown no serious adverse hemoperfusion events, with the exception of occasional thrombocytopenia. However, the potential removal of life-saving drugs, such as antibiotics, by hemoperfusion in patients with sepsis remains poorly understood and requires special attention. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the incremental increase in total clearance of antibacterial drugs during haemoperfusion using the Efferon LPS device in patients with sepsis.
• Patient weight greater than 40 kg.
• Diagnosis of sepsis and/or septic shock according to CEPSIS-3 criteria (2016), presumed (at time of enrolment) to be of Gram-negative aetiology, requiring, in the opinion of the investigator, isolated lipopolysaccharide hemoperfusion.
