Understanding the role of therapeutic plasma exchange in COVID‐19: preliminary guidance and practices

Vox Sanguinis, 2021
Cytokine release syndrome in COVID‐19 is due to a pathological inflammatory response of raised cytokines. Removal of these cytokines by therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) prior to end‐organ damage may improve clinical outcomes. This manuscript is intended
