Effectiveness of Coupled Plasma Filtration Adsorption Technique in Cytokine Storm Developing in Critical Covid-19 Patients. (Case Series)
Author(s): Abdulkadir Yektas*
Due to its immunopathology, the SARS-Cov-2 virus, which causes COVID-19 disease, leads to an uncontrollable release of cytokines, in which IL-6 plays a role, leading to damage in various organs, especially the lung. In COVID-19 patients, treatment of this cytokine storm is as important and life-saving as antiviral therapy. In this case series, we aimed to present six patients in whom we performed cytokine removal with Coupled Plasma Filtration Adsorption (CPFA) technique in critically ill COVID-19 patients diagnosed with cytokine storm who were hospitalized in the intensive care unit and connected to mechanical ventilator..
