title: [Treatment of shock using pharmacological doses of corticosteroids].
abstract: Following a review of present-day knowledge and therapeutic approaches to the treatment of shock, three personal cases are presented. Aetiology differed in the three cases and they were treated with methylprednisolone succinate of sodium (Solu Medrol) at a dose of 30 mg/kg. Treatment resolved the state of shock and enabled the three patients to be operated.
