Although new techniques like extracorporeal blood purification have lately emerged, septic patients still have very high hospital mortality rates. Sepsis can be induced by either viremia, bacteriemia or in some cases both. Many studies have reported the effectiveness of different hemadsorbers, but patient sample sizes have been inadequate for definitive conclusions. Secondly, there are still no clear inclusion criteria as well as criteria for when to cease hemadsorption mostly due to immune dysregulation or cascade coagulation disorders. The aim of this observational prospective registry is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Seraph® 100 Microbind® Affinity Blood Filter (Seraph 100) in the treatment of septic ICU patients and to evaluate which cluster of these patients should benefit most with this therapy.
