  1. Corticosteroids in the ICU Fekri Abroug CHU F.Bourguiba Monastir Tunisia

  2. Corticosteroids in Sepsis

  3. Background • Systemic inflammation is the hallmarkof sepsis • Corticosteroids modulate immune response to sepsis through genomic and non-genomic effects • Cytokines may suppress cortisol production or access to tissues, inducing corticosteroids insufficiency in almost half of septic shock

  4. Clinical Question • In patients with sepsis, septic shock, does treatment with corticosteroids replacement-dose improve short-term survival?

  5. Inclusion Criteria • Types of studies: RCT or quasi-RCT with or without blinding. • Types of participants: Children & adults with sepsis, septic shock (ACCP/SCCM 1992). • Types of interventions - Intervention: - i.v. of any type of corticosteroid preparation - replacement therapy: ≤300mg HC (equivalent) for ≥5 days - Control: Standard therapy or placebo. • Types of outcome measures - Primary: 28-day all-cause mortality. - Secondary: Hospital mortality, shock reversal (day 7), Adverse events.

  6. Mixed population, n=3 Incomplete information, n=3 7 RCTs excluded Very short term effects, n=1 26 RCTs 1 Cross over, n=40 19 RCTs included 18 Parallel groups, n=2,137 CS-Replacement 9 RCTs N=570 Results

  7. Favors CS Favors Control Results 28-day Mortality (all trials) RR=0.88 (0.78 to 0.99) P=0.03

  12. Corticosteroids in ARDS

  13. Position of the Problem • Systemic Inflammation is the hallmark of ARDS both at the early phase and later in the course of the disease • Corticosteroids are the main anti-inflammatory drugsboth at high doses and moderate doses

  14. Position of the Problem Theoretically there are 4 therapeutic options • 1- High dose CS for early ARDS • 2- High dose of CS for late ARDS • 3- Low dose CS for early ARDS • 4- Low dose CS or late ARDS

  15. 1- High dose CS for early ARDS • 2- High dose of CS for late ARDS • 3- Low dose CS for early ARDS • 4- Low dose CS or late ARDS

  16. High Dose CS for Early ARDS

  17. No effect of early high doses and short courses (30mg/kg MP 1-2D)

  18. 1- High dose CS for early ARDS • 2- High dose of CS for late ARDS • 3- Low dose CS for early ARDS • 4- Low dose CS or late ARDS

  19. NO DATA

  20. 1- High dose CS for early ARDS • 2- High dose of CS for late ARDS • 3- Low dose CS for early ARDS • 4- Low dose CS for late ARDS

  26. Serious Infections P=0.135 • Placebo 43 in 30 pts • Methylprednisolone 25 in 20 pts • More suspected/probable pneumonia in the placebo group (14.3 vs. 5.6%, P=0.049) • More septic shock episodes in the placebo group (17 vs. 15 pts vs 6 in 5 pts; P=0.031) ARDS net study, ATS05

  27. Effects of Corticosteroids Corticosteroids compared to placebo had: • Greater decrease in plasma IL-6 • Greater decrease in BAL neutrophils ARDS net study, ATS05

  34. Low Dose CS for Early ARDS P=0.13 P=0.28 Meduri et al submitted

  35. Summary • Low dose of CS consistently showed benefit on both early and late ARDS morbidity • Low Dose of CS may improve survival from ARDS both during the early and late phase. However data remained controversial • Efforts should be made to reduce CS induced muscle weakness – Glucose control?
