17 OPTIONS FOR ADJUNCTIVE THERAPIES IN SEVERE INFECTIONS: SSC 2016 INTERVENTION COMMENT Low-dose hydrocortisone replacement in septic shock Only if hemodynamic stability cannot be achieved (weak recommendation) Treatment with IV Igs AGAINST preparations of only IgGs Weak recommendation of IgM-enriched preparations Rhodes A, et al. Crit Care Med 2017; 45: 486
