Incidence of stress ulcer formation associated with steroid therapy in various shock states

R H Jama et al. Am J Surg. 1975 Sep.

The use of pharmacologic doses of steroids early in the shock state, within the first hour when possible, for periods of less than forty-eight hours seems to reduce the incidence of gastric ulceration and hemorrhage in low flow states associated with septic, cardiogenic, and hemorrhagic shock.
