The efficacy and safety of plasma exchange in patients with sepsis and septic shock: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract
Sepsis and septic shock are leading causes of intensive care unit (ICU) mortality. They are characterized by excessive inflammation, upregulation of procoagulant proteins and depletion of natural anticoagulants.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of plasma exchange in patients...
