Brief Summary:
Sepsis is defined by the occurrence of critical organ dysfunction in the context of infection Unfortunately its incidence appears to be rising and the mortality of septic shock remains extraordinary high 60 Death in sepsis arises from shock and multi organ dysfunction that are - at least in part - triggered by an inadequate response of the hosts immune system to the infection Given the injurious role of 1 this overwhelming immune response and 2 the consumption of protective plasmatic factors eg vWF cleaving proteases hemostatic factors etc while the disease is progressing the investigators hypothesize that early therapeutic plasma exchange TPE in the most severely ill individuals might improve hemodynamics oxygenation and ultimately survival This therapeutic strategy combines 2 major aspects in 1 procedure 1 removal of harmful circulating molecules and 2 replacement of protective plasma proteins The investigators designed the EXCHANGE trial to analyze in a randomized fashion the benefit of TPE as an add-on treatment to state of the art standard sepsis care Only patients with early septic shock 24 hrs and high catecholamine doses norepinephrine 04 ugkg body weightmin will be included Those in the treatment group will receive 1 TPE within 2 hours following randomization The primary outcome is norepinephrine dose 6 hrs after randomization The recruitment period is 2 years and will be performed at the Hannover medical School University hospital in Germany Secondary endpoints including organ dysfunction as well as biochemical markers of inflammation and coagulation will be assessed on day 1-8 and day 28 after TPE
The investigators hope to demonstrate a potential benefit of an additive treatment approach to improve the outcome of patients suffering from septic shock
