Abstract
This document is an executive summary of guidelines on the use of corticosteroids in critically ill patients with sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). The guidelines were developed by a task force of international experts in critical care medicine and endocrinology. The summary provides updated recommendations based on new evidence and focuses on the most common diagnoses in which corticosteroids are considered. The recommendations are categorized by condition and include the strength of the recommendation and the quality of evidence. The summary also mentions that the guidelines are applicable to adult and pediatric patients, but specific recommendations for pediatric patients are limited due to a lack of available studies.
