Objective: The objective was to examine the effect of repeated applications of coupled plasmafiltration-adsorption on the hemodynamic response in septic shock patients hospitalized in intensive care units (ICUs).
Design: Prospective, intention-to-treat.
Setting: General ICU of a tertiary care, non-teaching, 400-bed, city hospital.
Patients And Participants: Twelve consecutive mechanically ventilated septic shock patients, with or without concomitant acute renal failure (ARF).
Intervention: A median of 10 consecutive sessions (prescribed treatment time: 10 h/session; delivered duration: 8.43+/-1.37 h/min) of coupled plasmafiltration-adsorption for each patient.
Measurements And Results: Mean arterial pressure (77.2+/-12.5 [CI 95%; 74.5-79.8] vs. 83.3+/-14.1 [CI 95%; 80.3-86.3] mm Hg; [ p<0.001]), cardiac index (4.03+/-0.89 [CI 95%; 3.83-4.22] vs. 3.46+/-0.82 [CI 95%; 3.28-3.64] L/m(2)/min; [ p<0.001]), systemic vascular resistance index (1,388+/-496 [CI 95%; 1,278-1,497] vs. 1,753+/-516 [CI 95%; 1,639-1,867] dynes x s/cm(5); [ p<0.001]), PO2/FIO2 ratio (204+/-87 [CI 95%; 185-223] vs. 238+/-82 [CI 95%; 220-256]; [ p<0.001]), significantly improved during 100 global treatments (pre- vs. post-treatment values). Intra-thoracic blood volume and extra-vascular lung water did not change across treatments. Vasopressor requirement was reduced: norepinephrine decrease from an infusion rate of 0.13+/-0.07 (CI 95%; 0.06-0.16) to 0 gamma/kg/min after a mean of 5.3+/-2.7 sessions. C reactive protein (CRP) significantly decreased (from 29.3+/-7.3 vs. 7.9+/-4.8; p<0.0001) during treatment. Survival was 90% at day 28 and 70% at day 90.
Conclusion: Coupled plasmafiltration-adsorption was a feasible and safe extracorporeal treatment and exerted a remarkable improvement in the hemodynamics, the pulmonary function, and the outcome in septic shock patients with or without concomitant ARF.

Background: Colistin pharmacokinetics data are scarce regarding patients undergoing renal replacement therapy (RRT), or even absent as in patients treated with sorbent technologies potentially capable of removing colistin by extensive absorption on many polymeric materials.
Methods: Twelve septic shock patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) undergoing RRT [continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) n = 7, coupled-plasma filtration adsorption-HF (CPFA-HF) n = 4, hemoperfusion n = 1] treated with colistin methanesulfonate at a dose of 4.5 × 10(6) U bid were studied.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate whether a specific treatment combining plasma filtration and adsorption could enhance blood circulation and immune response in patients with severe septic shock.
- Conducted as a pilot crossover trial with ten patients, the research compared two treatment methods over 10 hours and measured changes in blood pressure, norepinephrine use, and immune response related to TNF-alpha production.
- Results showed that the combined treatment significantly improved mean arterial pressure and reduced norepinephrine requirements, indicating better hemodynamics, while also enhancing the immune system's responsiveness in most patients.

While in end-stage renal disease dialysis dose correlates with morbidity and mortality, this correlation is less evident in acute renal failure. In spite of a poor literature in the field, a few recent papers seem to suggest that an increase in treatment dose may result in an improved outcome of critically ill patients affected by acute renal failure. This improvement appears to plateau at a certain level of dialysis dose in the general population while, in septic patients, the correlation between treatment dose and outcome continues linearly.
