[Use of large doses of hydrocortisone in the overall treatment of the victims of severe mechanical injury at the prehospitalization stage].

The combination of infusion preparations with large doses of hydrocortisone (15--20 mg/kg) is highly recommended for severe mechanical traumas at the prehospital period stage. In so doing, a less amount of infusion preparations is needed to combat a dangerous hypotension and the period of its noxious effect upon the organism shortens, as well. Besides, more favorable conditions for the transportation of the patient to hospital and for his further management are set up.
