ABSTRACT

Septic shock is a very common cause of mortality found in our days. The literature has been studying the roll of corticosteroids in the management of this pathology due to its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Many studies have been developed, to demonstrate the possible association of corticosteroids with mortality reduction, shock reversion and possible side effects. The main objective of this paper is to discuss the evidence that can guide the physician to understand in which specific clinic circumstances the patient will get advantage of the administration of these kind of drugs.
