Case Series: Efficacy and Safety of Hemoadsorption With HA-330 Adsorber in Septic Pediatric Patients With Cancer.

Sepsis is a frequent cause of death in hospitalized patients and, in detail, in neonatal, pediatric, and adult intensive care units (ICUs). Severe sepsis has a very poor prognosis. Indeed, the mortality rate varies between 30 and 70% during the first 7-14 days.

New Therapeutic Approach to Reduce Methotrexate Toxicity after High-Dose Chemotherapy in a Child with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia: Efficacy and Safety of Hemoadsorption with HA-230 Adsorber.

Background: High-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) is likely to cause a number of side effects and manifest itself as hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, mucositis, and neurotoxicity. A several studies demonstrated the efficacy of extracorporeal detoxification methods such as plasma exchange, hemodialysis (HD), HD filtration, and hemoperfusion for the treatment of MTX delayed clearance. However, none of the existing methods as effective as expected and limited for general implementation due to a procedure-related complication.

First successful hemoadsorption using CytoSorb in a septic pediatric patient in Kazakhstan: A case report.

Purpose: For the first time in Kazakhstan, we have used a combined extracorporeal support, by including the CytoSorb system in a continuous veno-venous hemofiltration system in an 8-month-old patient with a body weight of 5600 g.

Results: The CytoSorb therapy session resulted in a reduction of inflammation markers IL-6, S100, procalcitonin, and C-reactive protein. Simultaneously, the level of transaminases, creatine kinase, and troponin were normalized, by the end of the session patient hemodynamics were stable and there was no need for vasopressors, acid-base balance was maintained, and the patient was weaned from mechanical ventilation to spontaneous breathing.
