Summary

This study tests a new blood-filtering method called adaptive blood purification (ABP) for people with septic shock. The treatment aims to remove inflammatory substances from the blood. 276 adults in intensive care will be randomly assigned to receive either standard care or standard care plus two 6-hour ABP sessions. The main goal is to see if ABP reduces deaths within 90 days.
