TY - JOUR AU - Chen, Wensen AU - Wang, Yingqin AU - Zhong, Ming PY - 2018 TI - Hydrocortisone plus fludrocortisone: Taichi of risk hedge for improving adults with septic shock JF - Journal of Thoracic Disease; Vol 10, No 7 (July 31, 2018): Journal of Thoracic Disease Y2 - 2018 KW - N2 - We read with interest the work presented by Annane et al . (1) in which the authors reported that hydrocortisone plus fludrocortisone therapy significantly improved 90-day all-cause mortality in patients with septic shock compared with placebo. Interestingly, recent work presented by Venkatesh et al . (2) did not favor hydrocortisone therapy alone in patients with septic shock undergoing mechanical ventilation.
