Clearance of CPH through a HCO filter is technically feasible but its performance markedly relies on the initial concentration of CPH. Critically ill patients with smoldering hemolysis, as it happens during septic shock or ECMO treatment, may benefit the most from the use of this membrane in order to clear CPH.
