Clinical Trial Summary

Administration of systemic corticosteroids for patients with severe forms of severe acute respiratory syndrome(SARS-Co-2) infection are recommended by several guidelines. In the very beginning of SARS-Co-2 pandemic the early recommendation by professional organization was against routine use of corticosteroids for patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), despite previous data and clinical practice for patients with refractory or severe form of ARDS.


Clinical Trial Description

Administration of systemic corticosteroids for patients with severe forms of SARS-Co-2 infection are recommended by several guidelines. In the very beginning of SARS-Co-2 pandemic the early recommendation by professional organization was against routine use of corticosteroids for patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ARDS, despite previous data and clinical practice for patients with refractory or severe form of ARDS. But at the latest after publication of RECOVERY trial (Randomized Evaluation of Covid-19 Therapy, July 2020) and ensued metaanalysis of World Health Organization (WHO) working group, the routine administration of systemic corticosteroids was revisited. However, there are ongoing critical debate of the evidence regarding the dose, administration, timing and type of corticosteroids and ongoing randomized controlled trial (RCT) are challenging the recommendation of 6 mg of dexamethasone for all patients with severe form of COVID-19. The dynamic of COVID-19 surges, flip-flop of official recommendations within very short period of time and ongoing critical debate could be with possible variations of daily clinical practice regarding using systemic corticosteroids. In an electronic evaluation form that will be send to European Society of Intensive Care (ESICM) Members. The electronic survey will contain 10 question. In the questionnaire the participants will have to describe their routine clinical practice regarding administration of systemic corticosteroids among patients with COVID-19 ARDS. ;
