About this trial

In septic shock, dysregulated host responses to pathogens lead to cytokine storms that damage host tissues and organs, further contributing to the development of organ dysfunction and increased mortality. For sepsis, blood purification can remove inflammatory factors in sepsis by filtration or adsorption, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing inflammatory mediators in the body. However, there are few prospective randomized controlled studies in children. Therefore, this study intends to compare the efficacy and prognosis of different blood purifications on children with sepsis through randomized controlled studies, so as to provide a corresponding basis for the treatment of children with sepsis blood purification.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Meet the 2005 diagnostic criteria for sepsis

Sepsis-induced dysfunction of more than one organ or abnormal tissue perfusion, or septic shock

Diagnosis < 48 hours

Disqualifiers

Inability to obtain an informed consent from the subject, family member or an authorized surrogate

Subject has end-stage renal disease and requires chronic dialysis

Trial design

Design model

Sequential

Treatments tested in this trial

  • blood purification(CVVH)

    Device

    After the sepsis patients were enrolled, they were treated with blood purification in CVVH mode, 24 hours per day, for 3 consecutive days

  • blood purification(TPE+CVVH)

    Device

    After the sepsis patients were enrolled, they were treated with blood purification in TPE mode 2 hours at first and then in CVVH mode 22 hours in the first two days, and then in CVVH mode 24 hours

  • blood purification(HP+CVVH)

    Device

    After the sepsis patients were enrolled, they were treated with blood purification in HP mode 2 hours at first and then in CVVH mode 22 hours in the first two days, and then in CVVH mode 24 hours

Treatment groups

120 Participants
are divided into 3 treatment groups
Group A: standard treatment+CVVHExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: standard treatment+TPE+CVVHExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group C: standard treatment+HP+CVVHExperimental treatment 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

cytokine change

This is a binary variable. It is also a compositional variable including IL-6, IL-10, TNF-a, IL-4, IL-2 and etc. If one of the factors changes, it is considered that the variable changes. If the cytokine drops below half of the original value, it is considered to be changed. The cytokine would be measured measured at the 7th day after enrollment

Time frame
from enrollment to the 3th days
2

organ injury changes

the difference of the organ injury changes would be measured at the 3th day after enrollment

Time frame
from enrollment to the 3th days

Secondary outcomes

1

survival rate

the survival rate would be measured at the 28th day after enrollment

Time frame
from enrollment to the 28th days
