Hydrocortisone plus Fludrocortisone -- Promising rescue in septic Shock:
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 21, Issue 2
Abstract
Septic shock is defined by a dysregulated host response to infection, resulting in life-threatening circulatory, cellular, and metabolic abnormalities. The short-term mortality is approximately 45-50%, and around half of survivors of sepsis may have subsequent long-term cognitive decline. Apart from early hemodynamic, respiratory resuscitation and appropriate antimicrobial treatments, there is no approved adjunct therapy for sepsis.
