[CPFA (coupled plasma filtration absorption) treatment of septic shock. A retrospective study of nine patients]
Abstract
Coupled plasma filtration absorption (CPFA) can increase blood pressure in septic shock and reduce fever during and after treatment. It is not able to stop the activation of intravascular coagulation and does not reduce the need for dialysis or the overall mortality.
