This is intended to alleviate the excess systemic inflammatory response (\u201ccytokine storm\u201d) associated with systemic hyperinflammation or septic shock.

The principles of causal and supportive therapy, such as dealing with the focal source and early anti-infective therapy, of course, retain their outstanding importance even under CytoSorb therapy. While these are primarily intended to treat the infection, CytoSorb was developed to modulate the excess immune response and thereby contribute to circulatory stabilization and increase the chance of recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Safety:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0CytoSorb therapy has been used more than 110,000 times worldwide in more than 800 clinical departments, and its application has been proven to be well-tolerated and safe. The CytoSorb adsorber can be used for up to 24 hours after which a change is necessary if the treatment indication persists. Patients have been treated for up to seven consecutive days, for 24 hour periods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Easy to use:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0The adsorber is a standard whole blood cartridge and can be used with conventional dialysis and hemofiltration equipment, as well as heart-lung machines, extracorporeal life support machines, or as a stand-alone therapy with blood pumps in hemoperfusion mode. The treatment can be prepared after a short training and can be easily integrated into routine procedures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Treatment goals:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0The use of CytoSorb therapy has the following primary goals:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Improvement of hemodynamics with significant reduction in catecholamine requirements<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Reduction in capillary leak syndrome with reversal of the fluid balance<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Reduce the excess plasma levels of a variety of inflammatory mediators (including pathogen associated molecular patterns PAMPS and damage associated molecular patterns DAMPs)<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"4\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Treatment or mitigation of secondary organ failure<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For further information see under\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cytosorb-therapy.com\/en\/the-therapy\/therapeutic-effects\/\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Therapeutic Effects<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Previous fields of applications of CytoSorb therapy include in the intensive care unit and during surgery:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Intensive Care:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Septic and vasoplegic shock<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Toxic shock syndrome, necrotizing fasciitis<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"4\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"5\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Systemic hyperinflammation after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"6\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Cardiogenic shock<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"7\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Resuscitation or ECPR<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"8\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Polytrauma with high myoglobinemia<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"9\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Severe pancreatitis<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"10\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Liver failure of various origins (e.g., alcoholic hepatitis, acute liver failure, secondary liver failure)<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"11\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Severe burns<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"12\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Severe influenza and flu, particular requiring ECMO<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"13\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Others<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Intraoperative applications in cardiac and thoracic surgery:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Patients with long, complex procedures aortic dissections, heart transplant, complex combination interventions, re-operations<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Patients with pre-existing activation of the immune system, i.e. endocarditis, shock<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Patients with increased comorbidity including chronic impaired liver and \/ or kidney function<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">From &lt;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cytosorb-therapy.com\/en\/the-therapy\/\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">https:\/\/cytosorb-therapy.com\/en\/the-therapy\/<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">&gt;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1008,"template":"","product_category":[62],"class_list":["post-811","products","type-products","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","product_category-cytokine-adsorber","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.1 -
