Endotoxin activity assay and polymyxin B hemoperfusion use in a cohort of critically ill patients

Endotoxin plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of severe sepsis and septic shock (SS&SSh) [1]. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of extracorporeal endotoxin removal with polymyxin B hemoperfusion (PMX-DHP) (Toraymyxin®).
