Zusammenfassung:	Adrenal insufficiency during sepsis is well documented. The association between hemorrhagic shock and adrenal insufficiency is unclear and may be related to ischemia, necrosis, or resuscitation. This study was designed to determine the incidence of relative adrenal insufficiency in hemorrhagic shock. A retrospective review of a prospectively gathered database for patients admitted to the trauma intensive care unit with hemorrhagic shock was undertaken. A random serum cortisol of
