Extracorporeal hemocorrection in treatment of meningococcal septic shock in children

Abstract

Purpose: to estimate the effectiveness of extracorporeal hemocorrection in treatment of refractory meningococcal septic shock in children.

Methods: patients with generalized form of meningococcal infection, multi-organ system failure and refractory septic shock admitted to the resuscitation department of Children’s Clinical Research Center for Infectious Diseases of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency of Russia underwent extracorporeal hemocorrection (polymyxin adsorption, continuous veno-venous hemofiltration, continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration). MultiFiltrate apparatus was used (Fresenius Medical Care, Germany).

Results: application of extracorporeal hemocorrection technique in the therapy of refractory meningococcal septic shock reduced the mortality from 44.4% to 25%.

Conclusion: effectiveness of extracorporeal hemocorrection when treating patients with refractory meningococcal septic shock is established. A small number of examined patients is a limitation of the study.
