Brief Summary

Major deep burns (\>20% body surface, involving deep skin layers) and associated severe inflammatory reaction and their complication are one of the biggest challenge of intensive care. Haemoadsorption therapy, including the CytoSorb treatment is a promising novel therapeutic approach, but only case-studies are available in the literature yet. Based on data from septic shock patient treatment the investigators hypothesize that CytoSorb is beneficial in early treatment of burns. The investigators aim to conduct a randomised-controlled study to assess the clinical effectiveness (based on score systems including MODS, SOFA, APACHE II, KDIGO, ABSI), 7 and 28 days survival, intensive care length of stay, length of mechanical ventilation, resuscitation fluid need and ino/vasopressor drug doses and the presence and severity of organ dysfunctions, particularly renal dysfunction. The investigatora plan to conduct basic research to elucidate the pathophysiological background of clinical effect, including the measurement of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, presence and severity of oxidative stress (lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, reduced/oxidised glutathion levels) and organ dysfunction markers (kidney injury molecule -1, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, cystatin-C, uromodulin).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • 7 days mortality

    The investigators assess the intensive care and post-intensive care mortality of our patients.

    Survival rate is assessed in the 7th admission day.

  • 28 days mortality

    The investigators assess the intensive care and post-intensive care mortality of our patients.

    Survival rate is assessed in the 28th admission day.

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Levels of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines during treatment

    Samples are gathered on inclusion and 8, 16, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 148, 168 hours following. Measured data points are selected by screening. All measurements are carried out in one lot. Data will be presented in arbitrary units.

  • Markers of oxidative stress (ROS production, MDA levels, tyrosine isomers)

    Samples are gathered on inclusion and 8, 16, 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 148, 168 hours following. Measured data points are selected by screening. All measurements are carried out in one lot.

  • Intensive Care Unit length of stay

    Length of intensive care for each patient (days), data is registered through ICU discharge of the patient, an average of 1 month.

  • Volume resuscitation fluid need of our patients.

    Results are summarised daily for our patients during the first week following inclusion.

  • Vasopressor need of our patients.

    Results are summarised daily for our patients during the first week following inclusion.

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

Patients are treated according to most recent guidelines in burn trauma and corresponding emergency and intensive therapy. All patients included are treated with early continous veno-venal renal replacement therapy.

Treatment group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Besides treatment strategies of the control group, the investigators start early haemadsorption treatment right after patient admission (and inclusion).

Device: CytoSorb haemadsorption device

Interventions

CytoSorb (Cytosorbents Inc.) aspecific blood purification device used in an extracorporeal circulation system without dialysis column. Anticoagulation is managed by siodium citrate-Calcium system, using the Gambro CVVHDF capable device.

Treatment group
