AN69ST Verse PS in CBP in Septic Children

The Effects of a AN69ST Membrane and Polysulphone Membrane on Septic Children With Continuous Blood Purification

In septic shock, dysregulated host responses to pathogens lead to cytokine storms that damage host tissues and organs, further contributing to the development of organ dysfunction and increased mortality. For sepsis, blood purification can remove inflammatory factors in sepsis by filtration or adsorption, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing inflammatory mediators in the body. However, there are few prospective randomized controlled studies in children. Therefore, this study intends to compare the efficacy and prognosis of different membrane on children with sepsis through a perspective cohort study, so as to provide a corresponding basis for the treatment of children with sepsis blood purification.

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction resulting from a dysregulated host response to infection. In septic shock, dysregulated host responses to pathogens lead to cytokine storms that damage host tissues and organs, further contributing to the development of organ dysfunction and increased mortality.

Blood purification therapy is gradually developed on the basis of renal replacement therapy, and now it is more and more widely used in the field of critical care in children. CVVH can reduce the level of inflammation in the body in different membranes, but the results of reducing inflammatory factors are different, and the outcomes of patients are also different.

Blood purification treatment can reduce inflammatory mediators in sepsis, but there are few prospective randomized controlled studies in children. Therefore, this study intends to compare the efficacy and prognosis of different blood purification membrane in children with sepsis through a perspective cohort study. Provide the corresponding basis for blood purification treatment of the disease.
