Detailed Description
This is a prospective, single-center, non-randomized, clinical observational cohort study primarily focused on observing the clinical effects of cytokine adsorption technology in patients with AIDS complicated by severe pneumonia and/or septic shock. Based on the real-world application of cytokine adsorption technology in AIDS patients with severe pneumonia or septic shock, the study divides patients into two groups: one receiving cytokine adsorption combined with standard treatment, and another receiving standard treatment only. The study aims to observe the impact of these two different treatment strategies on clinical outcomes.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Cytokine Adsorption Combined with Standard Treatment Group This group receives cytokine adsorption combined with standard treatment, specifically via hemoperfusion using the standard 211 protocol: two hemoperfusions within the first 24 hours, followed by one hemoperfusion daily. Each hemoperfusions session does not exceed 6 hours, lasting a total of 3 days. All patients also undergo blood perfusion treatment with the addition of a plasma separator. |
Device: Cytokine Adsorption
During treatment with cytokine adsorption cartridge, the patient's blood is passed through these cartridges, which contain substances that can adsorb specific cytokines. Excess cytokines are captured and removed by these substances, and then the cleansed blood is returned to the patient's body.
|
Standard Treatment Group This group receives only standard treatment . Standard treatment includes symptomatic supportive therapy, etiological therapy, fluid resuscitation, application of vasopressors, and non-invasive or invasive ventilation therapy. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Mortality rate [4 weeks]
Compare the mortality rates of the cytokine adsorption combined with standard treatment group and the standard treatment group.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Improvement in critical care scoring [Baseline and during treatment at weeks 1, 2, 3, 4.]
Improvements in the intensive care scoring systems SOFA score and APACHE II score from baseline and after intervention.
