High- versus standard-volume haemofiltration in experimental peritonitis-induced sepsis

Abstract

The role of haemofiltration as an adjunctive treatment of sepsis remains a contentious issue. To address the role of the dose and to explore the biological effects of haemofiltration we compared the effects of standard and high-volume haemofiltration in a peritonitis-induced model of porcine septic shock.
