[Plasma cortisol in neurosurgical resuscitation].
The authors study the values of spontaneous cortisonemia in neuro-surgical patients. They analysed the correlations between this parameter and certain clinical criteria (age, etiology, level of consciousness), the duration and nyctohemeral changes in spontaneous hypercortisonism. Furthermore, they presented the values of iatrogenic cortisonemias as a function of increasing doses of hydrocortisone and discussed the possible mechanisms for the disapperance of injected cortisone.
