Aim: To measure interstitial cortisol obtained by adipose tissue microdialysis (MD) as well as serum total and free cortisol in 31 mechanically ventilated patients upon sepsis onset (days 1 and 2). MD tissue glucose, pyruvate, lactate, and glycerol were also measured (as markers of altered or disrupted local energy production).Methods: The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) on day 1 and the sequential organ failure assessment (SOF...
