It can lead to organ failure and death if not treated. Cytosorb is a promising medical device for hemadsorption in pediatric septic patients (under 18 years old). As many studies conclude, Cytosorb results in efficient hemodynamics stabilization. This paper is a nonsystematic review of cases. PubMed-, Google Scholar-, and Scopus-indexed journals were used to collect papers for the research. Overall, 11 pediatric cases (six journal articles) were collected. Reductions in interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-10 levels after hemoperfusion with CytoSorb suggest a potential benefit in modulating the inflammatory response in pediatric patients. Moreover, other septic shock indicators such as C-reactive protein, lactate, procalcitonin, ALT, and AST were also significantly reduced in surviving patients within the first few hours of hemadsorption with CytoSorb. The use of CytoSorb seems to be efficient in managing different sepsis-related conditions, even in neonatal and infant populations, as a valuable supplementary tool. However, overcoming the obstacles associated with the age and weight of pediatric patients might necessitate the creation of CytoSorb devices tailored specifically to their needs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13226808","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,13]],"date-time":"2024-11-13T06:10:48Z","timestamp":1731478248000},"page":"6808","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Hemadsorption with CytoSorb in Infants with Sepsis: Non-Systematic Review of Cases"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Aruzhan","family":"Borankulova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, School of Medicine, Nazarbayev University, Astana Z05K4F4, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0437-4694","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vitaliy","family":"Sazonov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, School of Medicine, Nazarbayev University, Astana Z05K4F4, Kazakhstan"},{"name":"Pediatric Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Unit, National Research Center for Maternal and Child Health, University Medical Center, Astana Z05K4F4, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"463","DOI":"10.1016\/j.immuni.2014.04.001","article-title":"Sepsis: Current Dogma and New Perspectives","volume":"40","author":"Deutschman","year":"2014","journal-title":"Immunity"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"200","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(19)32989-7","article-title":"Global, regional, and national sepsis incidence and mortality, 1990\u20132017: Analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study","volume":"395","author":"Rudd","year":"2020","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"665","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2024.0179","article-title":"International Consensus Criteria for Pediatric Sepsis and Septic Shock","volume":"331","author":"Schlapbach","year":"2024","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"ref_4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1770","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(17)31002-4","article-title":"Neonatal sepsis","volume":"390","author":"Shane","year":"2017","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"74","DOI":"10.1186\/s13054-017-1662-9","article-title":"Hemoadsorption by CytoSorb in septic patients: A case series","volume":"21","author":"Kogelmann","year":"2017","journal-title":"Crit.
