- Abstract
To investigate the efficacy and safety of continuous blood purification (CBP) in neonates with septic shock and acute kidney injury (AKI). This retrospective study was conducted at two tertiary care children's hospitals between January 2015 and May 2022. A total of 26 neonates with septic shock and AKI were included in this study, with a mortality rate of 50%. Fourteen neonates (53.8%) received continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration, and 12 (46.2%) received continuous veno-venous hemofiltration. Compared with the indices before CBP, urine output increased 12 h after CBP initiation (P = 0.003) and serum creatinine decreased (P = 0.019). After 24 h of CBP, blood urea nitrogen had decreased (P = 0.006) and mean arterial pressure had increased (P = 0.007). At the end of CBP, the vasoactive-inotropic score and blood lactate were decreased (P = 0.035 and 0.038, respectively) and PH was increased (P = 0.015). Thrombocytopenia was the most common complication of CBP. Conclusion: CBP can efficiently maintain hemodynamic stability, improve renal function, and has good safety in neonates with septic shock and AKI. However, the mortality rate remains high, and whether CBP improves the prognosis of neonates with septic shock and AKI remains unclear. What is Known: • Over 50% of children with septic shock have severe AKI, of which 21.6% required CBP. • The clinical application of CBP in septic shock has attracted increasing attention. What is New: • CBP can efficiently maintain hemodynamic stability, improve renal function, and has good safety in neonates with septic shock and AKI. • The mortality rate in neonates with septic shock and AKI receiving CBP remains high.
