Study Overview

Brief Summary

High volume hemodiafiltration (HVHDF) has been used in septic patients to get hemodynamic improvement and possibly survival benefit.

Detailed Description

Sepsis, defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by dysregulated immune response to infection. Hemofiltration has been suggested as beneficial in restoring immune homeostasis. High volume hemodiafiltration (HVHDF) is a hybrid method of intermittent renal replacement therapy (RRT), where high filtration volumes are applied. In several studies; higher filtration volumes have been shown to achieve hemodynamic improvement and possibly survival benefit in patients with septic shock.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Severe sepsis defined by Quick SOFA score by presentation of 2 or more of the following criteria:
  • Mental clouding: decreased glasco coma scale GCS < 15
  • Hypotension: Systolic blood pressure < 100 mmgH
  • Tachypnea: respiratory rate > 22 breath/ minute Then serum lactate is analysed to confirm sepsis hypoperfusion if ≥ 2mmol/L
  • Organs dysfunction (including one of them respiratory failure).
  • Organ dysfunctions are defined as following:
  • Respiratory dysfunction (criteria for ARDS):
  • PaO2/FiO2 <200
  • Bilateral infiltrates in chest X-ray
  • Resistant hypoxemia
  • Tachypnoea (RR > 40 breath/minute)
  • The need for invasive mechanical ventilation
  • Excluded cardiac causes of pulmonary edema
  • CNS failure:
  • Decreased GCS ≥ 4 decreased points
  • CVS dysfunction:
  • Sustained hypotension even on very high inotropes doses (Noradrenaline >1µm/min)+ adrenaline>1.5µm/min associated
  • with high CVP pressure > 12 mmHg and not responding to fluid challenge test to exclude hypovolemia.
  • Cardiomegaly detected by either echocardiography assessment, or chest X-ray
  • Resistant frequent ventricular ectopics not explained by organic causes.
  • Liver dysfunction:
  • Elevated total and direct bilirubin than double normal or basal levels
  • Elevated prothrombin time > 17 seconds or INR > 1.5
  • Elevated liver enzymes > triple normal level
  • Renal dysfunction:
  • Decreased urine output < 0.5 ml/kg.
  • Elevated creatinine level > 164 µmol/L (1.5mg/dL).
  • Decreased creatinine clearance <50ml/minute if available.
  • Bone marrow depression:
  • Decreased platelets < 90 X 103/µL
  • Decreased leukocytes <4 X 103/µL
  • Decreased RBCs count < 4 X 106/µL

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patient relatives' refusal
  • Recent active internal hemorrhage
  • Not mechanically ventilated.
  • Hypersensitivity to the dialyser fluid

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Arterial oxygen pressure (PaO2)

Time Frame: 24 hours after start of HVHDF

Change in arterial oxygen pressure (PaO2) in units of millimeter mercury (mmHg)

Secondary Outcomes

  • Ventilatory function(0 hour, 24 hours, and 48 hours after start of HVHDF)
  • The ratio of arterial oxygen pressure to the fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/ FiO2 ratio)(0 hour, 24 hours, and 48 hours after start of HVHDF)
  • The duration for weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV)(28 days)
