Changes in PaO2/FiO2 ratio. The arterial oxygen tension (PaO2)/fractional inspired oxygen (FiO2) ratio was 244 ± 26.3 before direct hemoperfusion with an immobilized polymyxin B fiber column (DHP-PMX). It increased to 274 ± 28.6 at 24 hours after the start of treatment, 289 ± 26.2 at 48 hours, 348 ± 46.0 at 72 hours, 322 ± 22.1 at 96 hours, and 352 ± 25.4 at 120 hours, with statistically significant improvement from 96 hours onward compared with baseline (P < 0.05).
