Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Plasma IL-6 levels during the second LPS challenge. Comparison of CytoSorb group with control group. IL-6 is an archetypal pro-inflammatory cytokine with high relevance to sepsis. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Plasma levels of other inflammatory cytokines (including, but not limited to IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, MCP-1, CXCL-10, MIP-1*, MIP-1*, and G-CSF) during the second LPS chal-lenge. - mHLA-DR expression. - Plasma levels of inflammatory cytokines (including, but not limited to IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, MCP-1, CXCL-10, MIP-1*, MIP-1*, and G-CSF) during the first LPS challenge - Norepinephrine sensitivity during the first LPS challenge. - Cytokine concentrations in afferent and efferent tubing of the CytoSorb filter. Togeth-er with the blood flow, cytokine clearance by the filter can be calculated. - Endotoxemia-induced changes in leukocyte numbers and differential count - Endotoxemia-induced increase in body temperature - Endotoxemia-induced symptoms - Endotoxemia-induced hemodynamic alterations - Endotoxemia-induced increase in markers of endothelial injury (VCAM/ICAM) | — |
