Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: This project is an open, multicentered and collaborative data collection, which will study the usage of Polymyxin B Direct Hemoperfusion treatment in clinical practice. This will include patients with severe sepsis or septic shock originating in the abdominal cavity, urinary tract or otherwise supported by high activity levels of endotoxin (Endotoxin Activity Assay value greater than or equal to 0.6) measured by chemiluminescence in whole blood and accompanied by the dysfunction of one or more organs. All patients will be managed applying the standard protocols of intensive care, including the infusion of fluids, administration of vasopressor, mechanical ventilation, antimicrobial chemotherapy, the support of renal function such as continuous renal replacement therapy and hemodialysis, if necessary. Therefore, the inclusion of patients in the database will not, under any circumstances, impose any change on patient management.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: As this is open, multicentered and collaborative data collection web based registry, there are no specific exclusion criteria with subject to database collection.
