Excerpt

Severe sepsis and multiorgan failure (MOF) are major causes of death in the ICU. The extracorporeal cytokine adsorption column (ECAC; Cytosorb®, CytoSorbents Corporation, USA), a critical care focused therapeutic device, results in rapid in vitro and in vivo elimination of several key cytokines and prevents organ failure. Use of ECAC in patients with sepsis is a new area of research with insufficient data to promote large prospective RCTs. Studies published to date have shown promising results. We report our clinical experience with ECAC for severe sepsis/septic shock/MOF patients. …
