Treatments tested in this trial
Cytokine Adsorption
DeviceDuring treatment with cytokine adsorption cartridge, the patient's blood is passed through these cartridges, which contain substances that can adsorb specific cytokines. Excess cytokines are captured and removed by these substances, and then the cleansed blood is returned to the patient's body.
