Detaljeret beskrivelse
Current therapy for septic shock includes antimicrobials, fluid resuscitation, catecholamines, and measures to improve tissue oxygen delivery. The use of corticosteroids as an adjunctive treatment in septic shock has been an area of intensive research over the past decade. A handful of studies suggest that patients in septic shock benefit from low-dose glucocorticoids.Low-dose corticosteroids may improve hemodynamics, decrease vasopressor requirements, and reduce 28-day mortality in patients with vasopressor-refractory septic shock. A meta-analysis from 2004 also suggested that the use of low-dose corticosteroids does not significantly increase the risk of superimposed infections, gastrointestinal bleeding, or hyperglycemia.
The exact mechanism for this beneficial effect has not been completely established, although direct vascular effects and anti-inflammatory effects of corticosteroids have been proposed. While there is ongoing debate over which subpopulations of patients derive benefit from corticosteroids, there is as much controversy regarding the appropriate duration of therapy. The current Surviving Sepsis Campaign suggests that intravenous IV hydrocortisone 200-300mg/day should be given to adult septic shock patients after it has been confirmed that their blood pressure is poorly responsive to fluid resuscitation and vasopressor therapy. The duration of therapy is not specified. There is also no clear evidence to suggest that patients benefit from tapering steroids as opposed to stopping them abruptly; both strategies have been employed. Annane showed both a mortality benefit and shorter duration of vasopressor therapy with an abrupt end to a 7-day course of hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone in patients with septic shock compared to placebo; while others showed a similar benefit with a taper.Keh demonstrated reversal of both hemodynamic and immunologic effects after a three-day treatment of "low-dose" hydrocortisone, suggesting that some of the beneficial effects of steroids disappear in less than 24 hours. Interestingly, 30% of patients had to restart vasopressor therapy after discontinuation of corticosteroids in one of the Keh's study arms.

Beskrivelse
Inclusion Criteria:Patients who meet the following criteria will be enrolled in the study:
- suspected septic shock
- initiation of hydrocortisone 50mg IV Q6H (per MICU protocol)
- written informed consent signed by patient or legal surrogate
- Septic shock is defined by meeting all of the following requirements:
Clinical evidence of infection. Clinical evidence of infection is defined as the presence of a known or probable source of infection that has necessitated the initiation of systemic antimicrobial therapy. Clinical evidence of infection could include (but is not limited to) one or more of the following:
- presence of increased number of PMNs (neutrophils) in normally sterile body fluid
- positive culture or gram stain of blood, sputum, urine, or normally sterile body for a pathogenic microorganism
- chest radiograph consistent with a diagnosis of pneumonia with a positive culture, gram stain, diagnostic bronchoalveolar lavage, or protected specimen brush for a respiratory tract pathogen
- focus of infection identified by visual inspection (e.g., ruptured bowel found at surgery, wound with purulent drainage, radiographic or Computed tomographic evidence of an abscess or osteomyelitis, etc.) and
- patient has an underlying disease or condition that is highly likely to be associated with infection (e.g., ascending cholangitis, ischemic bowel, etc.)
Two of the following:
- Core temperature either > 38°C (> 100.4°F) or < 36°C (< 96.8°F)
- Tachycardia. Heart rate greater > 90 beats/minute
- Respiratory rate > 20 b/min or PaCO2 < 32 torr, or need for mechanical ventilation due to sepsis
- WBC > 12 or < 4 K/mm3
- End-organ cardiovascular dysfunction defined as hypotension unresponsive to fluid replacement necessitating vasopressor therapy, or lactate ≥4 mmol/L
Exclusion Criteria:
- age less than 18
- previous systemic corticosteroid therapy in the past 90 days (prednisone >5 mg/d or equivalent)
- pregnancy
- Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
- hematological malignancies
- advanced form of cancer with less than 30-day life expectancy
- patients who receive fludrocortisone
- evidence of prior acute myocardial infarction
