    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Critical Care Nursing

    Background:

    • Critical care nurses manage patients with endocrine function abnormalities.
    • Endocrine emergencies often lead to critical care unit admissions.
    • Critical illness and treatments can negatively impact endocrine function, presenting subtly.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the prevalence of endocrine dysfunction in critical care.
    • To emphasize the need for nurses to understand endocrine function and regulation.
    • To advocate for improved assessment skills regarding hormonal imbalances.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical situations involving endocrine abnormalities in critical care.
    • Analysis of the impact of critical illness and therapies on endocrine function.
    • Discussion of diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
