ABSTRACT
Apheresis is a modern medical approach in which plasma or cellular components are separated from the whole blood. Apheresis can be either diagnostic or therapeutic. Diagnostic apheresis is typically applied in hematology and cancer research. Therapeutic Apheresis (TA) includes a broad spectrum of extracorporeal treatments applied in various medical specialties, including Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Considering the complexity of the pathophysiologic characteristics of various clinical entities and in particular sepsis, apheresis methods are becoming increasingly applicable. Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) is the most common used method in ICU. It is considered as first line therapy for Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) and Guillain Barre Syndrome, while the current data for sepsis are scarce. Over the last decades, technologic evolution has led to increasing application of new and more selective methods based on adsorptive techniques. In this review we will describe the current data of characteristics of different techniques, safety and clinical impact of apheresis methods used in ICUs.
