Abstract
The low T3 syndrome invariably observed in prolonged critically ill patients can be explained at least in part by reduced hepatic type 1 deiodinase (D1) activity, whereby the T4 metabolism is shunted away from T3 production into inactive rT3. Infusion of TRH, however, restores the catalytic activity of D1 and concomitantly increases T3 to within the physiological range, indicating that D1 activity during critical illness is regulated via alterations within the thyroid axis [1]. It remains unknown, however, whether this observed reactivation of D1 activity is due to either a direct effect of TRH or the induced rise in circulating T4 and T3 concentrations.

Results Patient characteristics (mean ± SD): age 57.4 ± 15.4 years, 28 female, 52 male, APACHE II score 28.2 ± 6.6; number of organ failures 4.0 ± 1.12; preceding ICU period 8.5 ± 9.3 days; continuous sedation with midazolam 31.2 ± 34.2 mg/hour, fentanyl 0.12 ± 0.08 mg/hour, propofol 45.6 ± 105.2 mg/hour; sedation assessment according to RS 5.65 ± 0.63, CPS 5.15 ± 1.67, CKS 0.65 ± 0.69, CS 9.34 ± 2.13 und LSS 1.78 ± 1.69, RASS –4.50 ± 1.27, FiO2 0.52 ± 0.17, PEEP 8.2 ± 2.4 cmH2O, ventilatory frequency 20.5 ± 4.8/min, pressure control 16.8 ± 4.4 cmH2O, tidal volume 540 ± 115 ml, TVV 2525.6 ± 11,366 ml (minimum 1.52; maximum 91,586). We hypothesized that S100β levels correlate with this tumor’s preoperative characteristics and with perioperative neurological injury despite its supratentorial location and non-neural origin
