Summary
Traumatic brained injured (TBI) patients frequently suffered from glucocorticoid
insufficiency that is associated with a raise in the rate of pneumonia.
In a placebo-controlled, multi-center, double-blinded trial, treatment of glucocorticoid
insufficiency (hydrocortisone associated with fludrocortisone) will be assessed for
prevention of post trauma pneumonia in a population of severe TBI patients.
