One of the major health problems in the world is sepsis, the number of cases of which, according to WHO, annually reaches 20-30 million. One third of patients admitted to the ICU were patients with infection, a fifth of whom developed septic shock, the proportion of hospital sepsis was 46.6%, and death occurred in 30.4% of patients with infection.~The prevalence and incidence of obstetric sepsis is also pronounced. In Europe, up to 500,000 cases of sepsis are registered annually. In Russia, the frequency of obstetric purulent-inflammatory diseases in the structure of maternal mortality ranges from 5 to 26%, according to some data - up to 75%. In the structure of maternal mortality, this pathology is in second or third place.~Most often, postpartum sepsis occurs against the background of endometritis (90%), much less often against the background of a wound infection, mastitis, urinary tract infection (apostematous nephritis) or post-injection abscess. Every year, one million newborns die due to maternal infections, in particular maternal sepsis. Endotoxin, one of the most potent mediators of sepsis, is found in high concentrations in about 50% of patients with septic shock.~Despite clear progress in intensive care, the prognosis in patients with endotoxemia and septic shock remains unfavorable.~Hemoperfusion or hemoadsorption is a method of extracorporeal removal of toxic substances from the blood by their adsorption on a porous material. The hemosorption method can be a good addition or replacement to the classical methods of hemofiltration and hemodialysis, if the diffusion or convection of toxic substances through the membrane is not effective enough. Currently, using hemosorbents based on highly cross-linked copolymers of styrene and divinylbenzene, it is possible to remove endo- and exotoxins in acute and chronic renal and hepatic insufficiency, eliminate intoxication with pharmacological drugs, drugs and poisons, and also remove cytokines that are formed in excess during sepsis and systemic inflammatory diseases. syndrome of another etiology.~Numerous studies have shown that the use of endotoxin-eliminating methods of extracorporeal sorption improves outcomes in patients with sepsis and septic shock.~Efferon LPS is a device for extracorporeal blood purification by direct hemoperfusion. Detoxification is carried out by selective sorption of lipopolysaccharides (bacterial endotoxins).~The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of multimodal (lipopolysaccharide + cytokine) sorption using the Efferon LPS device in patients with obstetric sepsis.

Numerous studies have shown that the use of extracorporeal sorption methods that eliminate endotoxin and cytokines improves the results of treatment of patients with septic shock. The main goal of the study was to obtain new data on the efficacy and safety of using the Efferon LPS device for hemosorption of lipopolysaccharides during extracorporeal detoxification in patients with obstetric sepsis.
