Today's topic: Steroids in ICU - When not to use? 

Steroids in the ICU should be avoided when treating viral infections like COVID-19 (unless indicated for severe cases), sepsis without shock, or when there is a risk of worsening hyperglycemia, infections, or gastrointestinal bleeding. Always assess risks versus benefits.

Best wishes,
