Summary

This trial investigates whether therapeutic plasma exchange — a procedure that filters the blood to remove harmful substances — can reduce deaths in critically ill children with severe sepsis or septic shock. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either standard sepsis care alone or standard care plus plasma exchange. The study measures survival, organ function, and recovery time in the pediatric intensive care unit.
