Tandem Extracorporeal Blood Purification/Support Therapies in Critically Ill Children: A Literature Review
Tandem EBP/STs remain an emerging but incompletely standardized intervention in pediatric critical care. While they offer potential benefits such as improved procedural efficiency and reduced vascular access requirements, their use is limited by heterogeneous protocols, off-label application, and risk of complications. Efforts toward developing standardized guidelines, enhancing multidisciplinary training, and establishing multicenter registries may help optimize their safe and effective use in critically ill children.
