Extracorporeal Filtration of Potassium in a Swine Model of Bilateral Hindlimb Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury With Severe Acute Hyperkalemia.

Conclusions: We demonstrate that serum potassium can be filtered via hemoperfusion utilizing a simple extracorporeal potassium-binding platform, though evolution of this technology will be required to achieve meaningful reduction of potassium in clinically significant hyperkalemia after trauma.
