Fig. 1From: Clinical and biochemical endpoints and predictors of response to plasma exchange in septic shock: results from a randomized controlled trialFlowchart of study participants. Shown are screening, enrollment and randomization of patients. Inclusion criteria were early (< 24 h) and severe (norepinephrine (NE) dose ≥ 0.4 μg/kg/min despite adequate fluid resuscitation) septic shock. The study compared standard of care (SOC) to SOC + a singular therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), performed immediately following 1:1 envelope-based randomizationBack to article page
