5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Sepsis and septic shock have mortality rates between 20-50%. When standard therapeutic measures fail to improve patients' condition, additional therapeutic alternatives are applied to reduce morbidity and mortality. One of the most recent alternatives is extracorporeal cytokine hemoadsorption. One of the most tested devices is CytoSorb, however, there are a lot of open questions, such timing, dosing and of course its overall efficacy. This study aims to compare the efficacy of standard medical therapy (Group A, SMT) and continuous extracorporeal cytokine removal with CytoSorb therapy in patients with early refractory septic shock. Furthermore, we compare the dosing of CytoSorb adsorber device - as the cartridge will be changed in every (12 Group B) or 24 hours (Group C).

Furthermore, Cytosorb will be administered as soon as it is possible after randomization but not later than 2 hour (start of the treatment, T0). In a blood pump circuit in pre-haemofilter position, using a kidney replacement device of Fresenius Multifiltrate as a solo therapy or in combination with renal replacement therapy. It will be run in CVVHD, CVVHDF or CVVH mode with a 150 and 200 ml/min blood flow. Anticoagulation will be applied intravenously with heparin, low molecular weight heparin or citrate.
