  • oXiris - Clinical practice of endotoxin adsorption

    Sepsis is life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection, and is the leading cause of death in intensive care unit patients due to limited therapies currently. As is known to all, endotoxin is important in the pathogenesis of sepsis, whereby infection triggers a systemic inflammatory response, resulting in release of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, which are thought to be responsible for the tissue damage that occurs in sepsis patients. Therefore, removing endotoxins is considered as an effective way to improve the conditions of sepsis patients. Both Toraymaxin (PMX) and adsorptive membrane such as oXiris can remove endotoxins by adsorption, and in this review we will summarize current studies, included in vitro study, animal study, and clinical research to show the benefit from endotoxin removal by oXiris, and also give some suggestions about oXiris clinical practice from experienced experts.
