Hemoperfusion with the HA330/HA380 Cartridge in Intensive Care Settings: A State-Of-The-Art Review

(i) The HA330/HA380 cartridge contains abundant, coated, biocompatible sorbent beads made of styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers. (ii) HA330/HA380 hemoperfusion, with or without combined continuous renal replacement therapy, is a promising treatment option for some critically ill patients by removing proinflammatory mediators and alleviating organ dysfunction. (iii) The HA330/HA380 cartridge may adversely adsorb antibiotics, and appropriate antibiotic dosing adjustment and plasma drug level monitoring is recommended. (iv) There are currently numerous ongoing clinical trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of HA330/HA380 hemoperfusion in critically ill patients who develop sepsis or undergo cardiopulmonary bypass, which will certainly sharpen our future practice of HA330/HA380 hemoperfusion in ICU.
