Article Synopsis
- The study explores the effects of early hemofiltration on improving survival rates in children and young adults with ARDS induced by cancer treatments.
- Ten pediatric patients with various cancer-related conditions received continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration during respiratory failure, regardless of their kidney function.
- Results showed high clearance rates and an improvement in extubation success, suggesting that early hemofiltration may enhance survival by managing fluid balance and filtering inflammatory substances.
