This Collection in the journal Critical Care highlights research on Extracorporeal blood purification (EBP). EBP plays a critical and evolving role in intensive care medicine, especially in the management of critically ill patients with systemic inflammation, sepsis, multi-organ failure, renal dysfunction or intoxications.
