In this acute endotoxic shock model, CWH at 3 Uhr improved cardiac performance and decreased pulmonary vasoconstriction. Moreover, CWH at 6 LUhr also increased arterial blood pressure and left ventricular stroke work, increased hepatic and femoral arterial blood flow, and decreased blood lactate levels. These effects were not attributable to TNF-alpha removal.

In this acute endotoxic shock model, CVVH with the polyacrylonitrile membrane improved cardiac performance when compared with the polysulphone membrane. These effects could be caused by a more effective adsorption of inflammatory mediators other than tumor necrosis factor. Whether the polyacrylonitrile membrane should be preferred over the polysulphone membrane for CVVH in severe sepsis warrants further experimental and clinical study.

Differences in temperature during hemofiltration resulted in striking differences in hemodynamics, metabolic acidosis, and survival rate in this clinically relevant experimental model of septic shock.

Thermodilution measurements of CCO are reliable, when compared to BCO measurements, over a large range of cardiac outputs and blood temperatures.
