Abstract

Background: Respiratory tract infection COVID-19 endemic is a major public health problem. Critical ill patients need ventilator support and have high mortality rate. The clinical severity associates with immune hyperresponsiveness (cytokine storm). Clinical improvement by hemoperfusion therapy which decreased cytokines level were reported but few data was acquired. Objective: This study aimed to reveal the outcome of hemoperfusion theryapy in severe COVID-19 pneumonia. Methods: We conducted retrospective study in severe COVID-19pneumonia patients who were treated by hemoperfusion at Nopparat Rajathanee Hospital between June 15th, 2021 and July 15th , 2021. Clinical and laboratory data were obtained by chart review. Results: There were 7 severe COVID-19 pneumonia patients treated by hemoperfusion; 2 were males and 5 were females, aged 40-64 years. Of these patients, 6 need ventilators and another needed only high flow nasal cannula. 2 days after hemoperfusion, 5 patients had respiratory conditions improvement (71.5%) and needed lower oxygen concentration delivery. 3 of these were dead (3/5, 60%) from nosocomial pneumonia and recurrent acute MI. 2 patients which had no clinical improvement after hemoperfusion died within 3 days. Conclusions: hemoperfusion seems to have clinical improvement of respiratory system but mortality rate is still high from other complication. So, cost-effectiveness of hemoperfusion needs further studies.
