Summary

This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intraoperative and early postoperative hemoadsorption using the Efferon® LPS device in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass in reducing the incidence and severity of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) in the postoperative period. Each patient in the treatment group will undergo two hemoadsorption sessions: first during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) at the time of cardiac surgery, with the duration determined by the CPB time, and second within 24 hours postoperatively, for a minimum duration of 6 hours.

Detailed description

Annually, over 1 million people worldwide undergo cardiac surgery. Most cardiac procedures still require cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), myocardial protection during aortic cross-clamping, and the induction of cardioplegic arrest by administering cardioplegic solutions into the coronary circulation. All of these factors contribute to ischemia-reperfusion injury of the myocardium, which remains a leading cause of acute heart failure following the restoration of spontaneous circulation and, consequently, the development of post-perfusion multiple organ dysfunction, particularly acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI occurs in approximately 7% of all hospitalized patients, 30% of intensive care unit patients, and up to 30% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Endotoxemia is one of the major contributors to the development of AKI. Septic AKI, compared with non-septic AKI, is associated with poorer prognosis, longer hospital stays, and lower survival rates. The goal of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intraoperative and early postoperative hemoadsorption using the Efferon® LPS device in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass in reducing the incidence and severity of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) in the postoperative period.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Efferon LPS	Efferon LPS, a medical device, which is a single-use cartridge filled with a polymeric adsorbent that selectively adsorbs endotoxin via surface-immobilized ligand and excessive cytokines via its intrinsic porosity. Efferon LPS hemoadsorption will be performed twice: first during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) at the time of cardiac surgery, with the duration determined by the CPB time, and second within 24 hours postoperatively, for a minimum duration of 6 hours.
