Recommendations for the diagnosis and management of corticosteroid insufficiency in critically ill adult patients: Consensus statements from an international task force by the American College of Critical Care Medicine

Abstract: Evidence-linked consensus statements with regard to the diagnosis and management of corticosteroid deficiency in critically ill patients have been developed by a multidisciplinary, multispecialty task force.

“…While several reports recommend continuous infusion at 10 mg/hr after intravenous infusion of 100 mg is given for the management of blood glucose,152 the utility of continuous intravenous infusion of steroids with long half‐lives is not clear. The period of administration is not fixed at 5 days, and administration of steroids for a long time should be avoided.…”

“…The duration of MV was 11 (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19) days in the nonetomidate group and 13 (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22) days in the etomidate group (p = 0.275), and the ICU length of stay was 15 (9-28) days in the non-etomidate group and 16 (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27) days in the etomidate group (p = 0.422). Four (7.4 %) patients in the non-etomidate group and six (6 %) patients in the etomidate group died (p = 1).…”

“…As a result of decreased cortisol secretion and/or tissue resistance (GR abnormalities) inadequate corticosteroid activity is present in many critically ill patients, particularly those with sepsis. This condition has been termed critical illnessrelated corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI) [5,6]. The presence of CIRCI may increase the morbidity and mortality of critically ill patients and predispose to PTSD [6][7][8][9].…”

“…The diagnosis of CIRCI is fraught with difficulties and at present this diagnosis is best made by a random (stress) cortisol of less than 10 lg/dl or a delta cortisol of less than 9 lg/dl after a 250 lg ACTH stimulation test [5,6,10]. One approach to resolving the question of whether too little glucocorticoid signal ultimately ''gets through'' is to examine target tissues whose function is regulated in part by glucocorticoids.…”
