This podcast, sponsored by Baxter Healthcare Corporation, features Dr. Pam Peeke interviewing Dr. Javier Neyra about the use of oxiris in blood purification for COVID-19 patients. Dr. Neyra discusses the pathophysiology of COVID-19, the role of extracorporeal blood purification, and the specific application of oxiris filters, emphasizing early intervention within the first 48-72 hours of a patient requiring CRRT support. He references a study from Italy indicating improved clinical courses with oxiris use and highlights the importance of vaccination and mask-wearing, especially with the rise of the Delta variant affecting younger, previously healthy individuals. Dr. Neyra encourages further research and data collection to refine the use of blood purification techniques and identify the patients who would benefit the most.
