[Endotoxin adsorption and continuous hemodiafiltration in three septic patients].

Abstract

We report 3 patients in septic shock with panperitonitis. Endotoxin adsorption by polymixin B affinity column (PMX) and continuous hemodiafiltration (CHDF) were performed immediately after the surgery. Septic shock was not improved in patient 1 and 2 despite intensive care. Multimodal approach, including complete surgical repair, cardiovascular support and blood purification methods, is essential in treating septic patients.
