There is always concern about adjusting the doses of glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants when treating patients with rheumatic diseases who are in the intensive care unit for reasons other than their primary disease. There is a lack of evidence for the use of such drugs other than recommendations based on limited perioperative data. The use of stress doses of glucocorticoids has become a common practice in patients receiving glucocorticoid therapy. The approach is to determine the glucocorticoid dosage based upon the patient's history of glucocorticoid intake and likelihood of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression, as well as the type and severity of illness. Given the clinical spectrum of disease severity and organ involvement, the decision to withhold immunosuppressants in the ICU should be made on an individual basis. Attention should be given to the approaches needed to address the particular disease-related risks associated with these rheumatic diseases.
