In the months to come the treatment will be used in a nationwide study of septic shock, a life\u2011threatening reaction to infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PURIFY\u2011RCT study will investigate the use of the Seraph 100 Microbind Affinity Blood Filter as a blood purification treatment for critically ill patients with septic shock. The study is funded by the Department of Defense and sponsored by the Uniformed Services University, Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine and ExThera Medical Corp., the filter\u2019s manufacturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more than a year, critical care specialist Brian Delmonaco, MD, and his intensive care team have found success using this blood filter on some of the sickest of the sick COVID\u201119 patients. Now the ICU staff will use their expertise in the study that may last up to two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA study like the PURIFY\u2011RCT permits our critical care team to network with larger research centers,\u201d said Dr. Delmonaco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Seraph 100 filter received emergency use authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in April 2020 to treat critically ill COVID\u201119 patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants involved in the study will be ICU patients who have septic shock, bacteria in their blood and are on certain medications to raise abnormally low blood pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good Samaritan, the only participant in the Pacific Northwest, has prestigious medical partners in the study that include Baylor Scott &amp; White Health, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and University of Southern California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGood Samaritan Regional Medical Center is a small but mighty clinical site for the PURIFY\u2011RCT study. The caliber of the other clinical sites in terms of academic excellence puts us together with very esteemed company,\u201d said Dr. Delmonaco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The research, which will enroll 60 patients, will compare in a ratio of 2\u2011to\u20111 a larger group receiving Seraph filter treatment for up to four days and a smaller group receiving normal ICU care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is an honor to be a part of the PURIFY\u2011RCT study and to showcase our hospital among the nation\u2019s best health research institutions,\u201d said Dr. Delmonaco.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<aside>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/woman-holds-treatment-container-for-sepsis-study-co.jpg\" class=\"attachment-cta size-cta wp-post-image\" alt=\"Clinician holding a treatment container for a sepsis study.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/woman-holds-treatment-container-for-sepsis-study-co.jpg 360w, https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/woman-holds-treatment-container-for-sepsis-study-co-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/woman-holds-treatment-container-for-sepsis-study-co-120x100.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/figure>\t\t<\/aside>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read about how a treatment that Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center helped pioneer for COVID\u201119 will be used in a nationwide study of septic shock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":11750,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"_searchwp_excluded":"","_shs_workflow_notes":"June 06, 2022","_shs_exclude_from_navigation":false,"_shs_promote_article_on_blogs":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"news-topics":[278],"news-types":[272],"services":[235,243],"specialty":[31],"class_list":["post-24177","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","news-topics-coronavirus","news-types-news","services-emergency-care","services-infectious-disease-travel-medicine","specialty-emergency-medicine"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24177\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11750"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24177"},{"taxonomy":"news-topics","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-topics?post=24177"},{"taxonomy":"news-types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-types?post=24177"},{"taxonomy":"services","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/services?post=24177"},{"taxonomy":"specialty","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/samhealth.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/specialty?post=24177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
