Abstract

Aims To investigate the relationship between adrenal gland function and pressor response to noradrenaline in septic shock. Methods Basal cortisol level, noradrenaline—mean arterial pressure dose‐response curve and cortisol response to intravenous corticotrophin bolus were obtained in nine patients fulfilling usual criteria for septic shock and in six normal volunteers. In patients with septic shock, dose‐response curve to noradrenaline was determined a second time 60 min after a 50 mg intravenous hydrocortisone bolus. Results As compared with controls, patients with septic shock had increased basal cortisol levels (mean±s.d.: 1564±818 vs 378±104 nmol l−1, P=0.002, 95% confidence interval for difference in means: [452, 1920]) and a blunted cortisol response to corticotrophin (403±461 vs 1132±195 nmol l−1, P=0.008, [−1163, −295]). Five patients had impaired adrenal function reserve. As compared with controls, septic patients displayed a moderate and non significant decrease in pressor sensitivity to noradrenaline (P=0.112). As compared with patients with adequate adrenal response, patients with impaired adrenal function reserve showed a significant decrease in pressor sensitivity to noradrenaline (P=0.038). In septic patients, hydrocortisone improved pressor response to noradrenaline (P=0.032). This effect was more marked in patients with impaired adrenal function reserve so that, as compared with patients with adequate response, the difference was no longer significant (P=0.123). Conclusions In septic shock, impaired adrenal function reserve may partly be accounted for by the depressed pressor sensitivity to noradrenaline. The latter may be substantially improved by physiological doses of hydrocortisone.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
