Abstract Background: The adrenal response in critically ill patients, including trauma victims, has been debated over the last decade. The aim of this study was to assess the early adrenal
ip t
response after trauma.
Methods: Prospective, observational study of 50 trauma patients admitted to a level-1-trauma
cr
centre. Serum and saliva cortisol were followed from the accident site up to five days after
us
trauma. Corticosteroid binding globulin (CBG), dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and sulphated dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEAS) were obtained twice during the first five days
an
after trauma. The effect of time and associations between cortisol levels and; severity of trauma, infusion of sedative/analgesic drugs, cardiovascular dysfunction and other
M
adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) dependent hormones (DHEA/DHEAS) were studied. Results: There was a significant decrease over time in serum cortisol both during the initial
d
24 hours, and from the 2nd to the 5th morning after trauma. A significant decrease over time
te
was also observed in calculated free cortisol, DHEA, and DHEAS. No significant association

was found between an Injury Severity Score ≥16 (severe injury) and a low (
