Abstract
Objectives: To study the efficacy of polymyxin B hemoperfusion in addition to standard care for sepsis treatment.
Materials and methods: Fifty sepsis patients (mean age 54.26 ± 14.64 years; 68% males) were randomized to either the case group (n = 25; receiving Polymyxin B hemoperfusion in addition to standard ICU care) or the control group (n = 25; receiving standard ICU care only). The patients were followed up at frequent intervals of 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours. A last follow-up on day 7 was done. The duration of the ICU stay and survival until day 7 were recorded. Changes in clinical and biochemical parameters were also noted and compared.
Results: Mean sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) scores at admission were 3.44 ± 1.00 and 2.80 ± 0.82, respectively, in cases and controls. Cases as compared to controls showed faster, and sustainable improvement. No significant difference between the two groups was seen for mortality at day 7.
Conclusion: Polymyxin B hemoperfusion tends to show a faster recovery and a non-significant trend towards reduced mortality in ICU-admitted sepsis patients.
