Selective Lipopolysaccharide Hemosorption in Maternal Sepsis

One of the major health problems in the world is sepsis, the number of cases of which, according to WHO, annually reaches 20-30 million. The prevalence and frequency of obstetric sepsis are quite pronounced. Thus, in Europe, up to 500,000 cases of sepsis are registered annually. In Russia, the frequency of obstetric purulent-inflammatory diseases in the structure of maternal mortality ranges from 5 to 26%, according to some data - up to 45-75%. In the structure of maternal mortality, this pathology is in second or third place. Numerous studies have shown that the use of extracorporeal sorption methods that eliminate endotoxin and cytokines improves the results of treatment of patients with septic shock. The main goal of the study was to obtain new data on the efficacy and safety of using the Efferon LPS device for hemosorption of lipopolysaccharides during extracorporeal detoxification in patients with obstetric sepsis.
