Hemadsorption during cardiopulmonary bypass reduces interleukin 8 and tumor necrosis factor α serum levels in cardiac surgery: a randomized controlled trial.

CONCLUSIONS: This prospective study shows a significant reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokine levels of Il-8 and TNFα with hemadsorption in on-pump cardiac surgery whilst also demonstrating safety in its applications. However, the differences in cytokine levels and CI between patients treated with hemadsorption and those without were minor and of short duration.
