  • A trend toward higher survival was noted in the group receiving hemofiltration, although this trend did not reach statistical significance. 188 Grootendorst et al. 189 showed an improvement of right ventricular ejection fraction and cardiac performance in a swine model of endotoxic shock with high-volume venovenous hemofiltration, presumably by removal of vasoactive mediators responsible for the adverse sequelae.

  • Similarly, in an evaluation of continuous venovenous hemofiltration in endotoxic swine, Bottoms et al. 191 failed to demonstrate any reductions in plasma concentrations of TNF, lactate concentration, or eicosanoids.
