It's 2026 by Sepsis Alliance. We're joining the conversation to raise awareness of it: every year, around 20 million children develop . More than 3 million of them die. We at think this can change.
We recently hosted our first webinar for the Australian pediatric critical care community, part of our broader effort to bring to clinicians around the world. Dr. Mikhail Rusak (head of the ICU at St. Petersburg State Children's Multidisciplinary Clinical Center, 20+ years in pediatric and neonatal critical care) and our co-founder Ivan Bessonov walked through the clinical and engineering sides of the story.
The session brought together clinicians from Children's Health Queensland, Fiona Stanley Hospital, Perth Children's Hospital and Health Service, and Sydney Children's Hospital. This is the first in a series of country-focused webinars we're planning. Next up: more countries, more conversations with the people who treat critically ill children every day.
The clinical data from the LASSO NEO clinical trial is encouraging: children treated with Efferon NEO alongside standard therapy showed faster shock resolution, less organ dysfunction, reduced need for vasopressors and mechanical ventilation. These results are supported by meaningful reductions in inflammatory markers, cytokines, and endotoxin. Efferon NEO is our answer to what pediatric intensivists have been asking for: a blood purification option designed specifically for children.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and to our speakers. We also thank Sepsis Alliance for raising awareness about pediatric sepsis. It's moving the field forward, and we’re grateful to be part of it.
