About this document
Understanding CIRCI in Critical Illness by Reinaldi octa is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses critical illness-induced corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI) and reviews the concept. It presents three case studies of patients to illustrate potential CIRCI situations and how treatment with hydrocortisone can help. The condition may develop in prolonged critically ill patients when central adrenal insufficiency occurs due to sustained increases in cortisol suppressing the HPA axis over weeks.
