Early Haemadsorption in Major Burns

December 9, 2019 updated by: University of Pecs

Early Haemadsorption Treatment of Major Burn Trauma Patients

Major deep burns (>20% body surface, involving deep skin layers) and associated severe inflammatory reaction and their complication are one of the biggest challenge of intensive care. Haemoadsorption therapy, including the CytoSorb treatment is a promising novel therapeutic approach, but only case-studies are available in the literature yet. Based on data from septic shock patient treatment the investigators hypothesize that CytoSorb is beneficial in early treatment of burns. The investigators aim to conduct a randomised-controlled study to assess the clinical effectiveness (based on score systems including MODS, SOFA, APACHE II, KDIGO, ABSI), 7 and 28 days survival, intensive care length of stay, length of mechanical ventilation, resuscitation fluid need and ino/vasopressor drug doses and the presence and severity of organ dysfunctions, particularly renal dysfunction. The investigatora plan to conduct basic research to elucidate the pathophysiological background of clinical effect, including the measurement of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, presence and severity of oxidative stress (lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, reduced/oxidised glutathion levels) and organ dysfunction markers (kidney injury molecule -1, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, cystatin-C, uromodulin).

Phase

Phase

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
No Intervention: Control group
Patients are treated according to most recent guidelines in burn trauma and corresponding emergency and intensive therapy. All patients included are treated with early continous veno-venal renal replacement therapy.

Besides treatment strategies of the control group, the investigators start early haemadsorption treatment right after patient admission (and inclusion).
