What this trial studies

This observational pilot study investigates the effects of extracorporeal blood purification using the oXiris hemofiltration membrane in critically ill patients experiencing vasoplegic shock. The study aims to measure both clinical and biological outcomes by collecting blood samples at baseline, 24 hours, and 72 hours after treatment initiation. The focus is on analyzing vasoactive metabolites and their impact on hemodynamics, particularly in patients requiring hemodynamic support. The methodology includes the use of specialized dialysis solutions and anticoagulation strategies tailored to individual patient needs.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults and children aged 6 years and older with vasoplegic shock requiring hemodynamic support.

Not a fit: Patients who do not require hemofiltration or are under citrate anticoagulation will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve hemodynamic stability and reduce the need for vasopressor medications in critically ill patients.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promising results with similar blood purification techniques in critically ill patients, indicating potential for success in this approach.

Eligibility criteria

* For minor patients: no opposition of the holders of parental authority

Exclusion Criteria:

* No need for hemofiltration.
