White blood cell counts have an impact on septic patient outcome followed by polymyxin-b immobilized fiber with direct hemoperfusion

TL;DRAbstract

The mortality rate of severe sepsis and septic shock is varied and high (25 to 70%). In our institute, the indication for polymyxin-B immobilized fiber with direct hemoperfusion (PMX-DHP) has been that circulatory failure (systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg or required catecholamines and high lactacidemia) continued despite following early goal-directed therapy by the Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines 2012.
