SCCM Resource Library-April Journal Club: Critical Care Medicine (2022)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this webcast from the Journal Club Critical Care Medicine series, Dr. Seth Bauer and Dr. Gretchen Sascha discuss two articles related to the use of vasopressin in patients with septic shock. The first article focuses on the association between vasopressin rebranding and utilization, while the second article explores the timing of vasopressin initiation in patients with septic shock. The authors find that vasopressin utilization increased after rebranding, despite its rising cost. They also find that early initiation of vasopressin may be associated with lower mortality rates. However, the optimal timing and dose of vasopressin initiation is still unclear. The authors recommend further research to clarify these questions. They also discuss the challenges of justifying the cost of vasopressin in clinical practice and the need to consider patient outcomes and cost-effective care when making decisions. Overall, the findings highlight the need for more evidence to guide the use of vasopressin in patients with septic shock.
