To evaluate and compare the effect of immunoadsorption effect of A-V ECMO on course of sepsis weaning from inotropes, weaning from the ventilator, duration of ICU stays and effect on mortality rate in patients with septic shock and respiratory failure due to ARDS followed severe lung contusion.
100 patients with respiratory failure without improvement after 10 days ventilation due to development of VAP with ARDS, had \>2 SOFA score and \>6 CPIS score included in two groups 50 patients in each.
