In this single‐center retrospective cohort study, the use of PMX‐HA was significantly associated with a reduced risk of 1‐year mortality in patients with septic shock due to intra‐abdominal infection. In contrast, no significant association was observed between PMX‐HA use and 1‐year mortality risk in patients with septic shock caused by extra‐abdominal

Inflammatory Cytokines as Early Predictors of Weaning Failure From Extracorporeal Life Support
Levels of IL‐8 and IL‐6 and their dynamics are reliable early predictors of ECLS weaning failure. ABSTRACT Background Weaning from extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in patients with refractory shock still remains a complex decision. Despite considerable advances in ECLS management, reliable biomarkers to predict weaning success are still not available.

Normothermia Machine Perfusion Is Associated With Reduced Transfusion Requirements, Improved Hemodynamic Stability, and Decreased Vasopressor Use During the Postreperfusion Phase of Liver Transplantation [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) has emerged as a valuable preservation technique, expanding the donor pool and improving clinical outcomes in liver transplantation (LT). Despite its growing adoption and reported advantages, the perioperative impact of NMP remains incompletely defined.
