Brief summary
Observing the Real-World Application Effectiveness of Cytokine Immune Adsorption Technology in AIDS Patients with Severe Pneumonia or septic shock.
Detailed description
This is a prospective, single-center, non-randomized, clinical observational cohort study primarily focused on observing the clinical effects of cytokine adsorption technology in patients with AIDS complicated by severe pneumonia and/or septic shock. Based on the real-world application of cytokine adsorption technology in AIDS patients with severe pneumonia or septic shock, the study divides patients into two groups: one receiving cytokine adsorption combined with standard treatment, and another receiving standard treatment only. The study aims to observe the impact of these two different treatment strategies on clinical outcomes.
Interventions
During treatment with cytokine adsorption cartridge, the patient's blood is passed through these cartridges, which contain substances that can adsorb specific cytokines. Excess cytokines are captured and removed by these substances, and then the cleansed blood is returned to the patient's body.
