Steroids in ARDS,
When to start?
What dose?
Which molecule?
Bolus or infusion?
How long to continue for?
Should you taper?
Unfortunately there are no definitive answers, but for now, here's a handy summary of what we do know.
Glucocorticoids in #ARDS... focus not only on molecule! Key elements to achieve optimal response to therapy:
β‘οΈ dosage (initial, overtime, adjustments)
β‘οΈ timing of initiation
β‘οΈ mode of administration
β‘οΈ duration of therapy
β‘οΈ tapering
β‘οΈ co-interventions
