Abstract:
The key mechanism of severe infection (sepsis) is systemic inflammatory reaction syndrome. Continuous blood purification (CBP) is helpful for treatment of sepsis through removing medium and large molecular weight inflammatory mediators. Clinical application and lab researches have confirmed that CBP can stabilize cardiopulmonary function in patients with severe sepsis. Continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration, continuous plasma filtration absorption and high volume hemofiltration can play a role in lowering inflammatory mediators in plasma and tissue. CBP has revealed a good prospect in the treatment of severe sepsis in children.
