Clinical Effects and Outcomes After Polymyxin B–Immobilized Fiber Column Direct Hemoperfusion Treatment for Septic Shock in Preterm Neonates*

Conclusions: Polymyxin B–immobilized fiber column direct hemoperfusion treatment for preterm infants with septic shock due to early-onset sepsis is associated with earlier hemodynamic and respiratory status improvements and with lower mortality than that due to late-onset sepsis. Early neonatal septic shock detection and polymyxin B–immobilized fiber column direct hemoperfusion induction may improve the prognosis of affected infants.
