We aim to compare the trend of three biomarkers in septic post-surgical abdominal patients in Intensive care Unit (ICU) treated with PMX-HA and their prognostic value. Methods Ninety abdominal postsurgical patients were enrolled into different groups according to the evidence of postoperative sepsis or not. Non-septic patients admitted in the surgical ward were included in C group (control group). ICU septic shock patients with endotoxin levels <0.6 EAA receiving conventional therapy were addressed in S group and those with endotoxin levels ≥0.6 EAA receiving treatment with PMX-HA, besides conventional therapy, were included in SPB group. Presepsin, procalcitonin, endotoxin and other clinical data were recorded at 24h (T0), 72h (T1) and 7 days (T2) after surgery. Clinical follow-up was performed on day 30. Results SPB group showed reduced levels of the three biomarkers on T2 vs T0 (P<0.001); presepsin, procalcitonin and endotoxin levels decreased respectively of 25%, 11% and 2% on T1 vs T0, and of 40%, 41%, 26% on T2 vs T0. All patients in C group, 73% of patients in SPB group vs 37% of patients in S group survived at follow-up. Moreover, procalcitonin had the highest predictive value for mortality at 30 days, followed by presepsin. Conclusion The present study showed the reliability of presepsin in monitoring PMX-HA treatment in septic shock patients. Procalcitonin showed better predicting power for the mortality risk.","PeriodicalId":505290,"journal":{"name":"Blood Purification","volume":"24 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140671151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, current FB management practices in CRRT patients are poorly understood. We aimed to study FB and its components in British and Australian CRRT patients to inform future trials. Methods We obtained detailed electronic health record data on all fluid-related variables during CRRT and hourly FB for the first seven days of treatment. Results We studied 1,616 patients from three tertiary ICUs in two countries. After the start of CRRT, the mean cumulative FB became negative at 31 hours and remained negative over seven days to a mean nadir of -4.1 L (95% confidence intervals (CI) of -4.6 to -3.5). The net ultrafiltration (NUF) rate was the dominant fluid variable (-67.7 mL/h; SD 75.7); however, residual urine output (-34.7 mL/h; SD 54.5), crystalloid administration (48.1 mL/h; SD 44.6), and nutritional input (36.4 mL/h; SD 29.7) significantly contributed to FB. Patients with a positive FB after 72 hours of CRRT, were more severely ill, required high-dose vasopressors and had high lactate concentrations (5.0 mmol/L; IQR 2.3 - 10.5). A positive FB was independently associated with increased hospital mortality (OR 1.70; 95% CI; p=0.004). Conclusion In the study ICUs, most CRRT patients achieved a predominantly NUF-dependent negative FB. Patients with a positive FB at 72 hours had greater illness severity and haemodynamic instability. Achieving equipoise for conducting trials that target a negative early FB in such patients may be difficult.","PeriodicalId":505290,"journal":{"name":"Blood Purification","volume":"37 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140694950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite this, these modalities carry frustratingly high mortality rates. One driver of mortality may be altered drug disposition due to a combination of underlying illness, patient-circuit interactions, and drug-circuit interactions. Children receiving ECMO and/or CRRT routinely receive 20 or more drugs, and data supporting optimal dosing is lacking for most of these medications. The Pediatric Paracorporeal and Extracorporeal Therapies Summit (PPETS) gathered an international group of experts in the fields of ECMO, CRRT, and other ECLS modalities to discuss the current state of these therapies, disseminate innovative support strategies, share clinical experiences, and foster future collaborations. Here, we summarize the conclusions of PPETS and put forward a pathway to optimize pharmacokinetic (PK) research in this population. We must prioritize specific medications for in-depth study to improve drug use in ECLS and patient outcomes. Based on frequency of use, potential for adverse outcomes if dosed inappropriately, and lack of existing PK data, a list of high priority drugs was compiled for future research. Researchers must additionally reconsider study designs, emphasizing pooling of resources through multi-center studies and the use of innovative PK modeling techniques. Finally, the integration of validated PK models into clinical practice must be streamlined to deliver optimal medication use at the bedside. Focusing on the proposed list of highlighted medications and key methodological considerations will maximize the impact of future research.","PeriodicalId":505290,"journal":{"name":"Blood Purification","volume":"59 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140419501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
