Endotoxin removal by the OXIRIS filter for cardiogenic shock requiring veno-arterial extra-corporeal life support: the ECMORIX randomized controlled trial

Ann Intensive CarePublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

In patients with cardiogenic shock supported by VA-ECMO and requiring renal replacement therapy, we could not evidence any reduction in LPS blood concentration in patients treated with treatment with OXIRIS filter in comparison to ST-150 filter.

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

LPS plasma concentration (pmol/ml of esterified 3-OH fatty acids) · H24

P = 0.983

Secondary outcomes

LPS plasma concentration, all time points (linear mixed modelling) · H26, H48, H72 · not different

P = 0.882

H48 OXIRIS 576 [513;614] · ST-150 624 [503;724]

H72 OXIRIS 632 [513;660] · ST-150 586 [538;776]

  • Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plasma concentration, all time points (linear mixed modelling): values at H26

LPS activity, inflammation markers (IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10, MCP-1), SOFA scores, VIS scores

No significant between-group differences
