Why the study?
Does glucocorticoid replacement therapy reduce the duration of inotropic support in patients with critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency and low cardiac output syndrome after cardiac surgery?
Does glucocorticoid replacement therapy reduce the duration of inotropic support in patients with critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency and low cardiac output syndrome after cardiac surgery?
Glucocorticoid replacement therapy in patients with critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency and low cardiac output syndrome after cardiac surgery may significantly reduce the duration of inotropic support without increasing infection risk.
