Application of extracorporeal blood purification in children is increasing with the improvement of technology and the broadening of indications in critically ill patients. Furthermore, novel devices are being made available with a miniaturized design to be applicable to pediatric machines and circuits. Current literature in the pediatric setting is essentially based on case series and observational studies. Novel prospective uncontrolled databases are underway, and the interest is growing in children, since the potential indications for pediatric sepsis and other inflammatory conditions might rely on the enhanced mediator clearance warranted by these techniques. This review will describe the application of hemadsorption in children, the available cartridges, the clinical results available in the pediatric setting, and the potential future uses.
