SCCM Resource Library-April Journal Club Webcast: Spotlight on Pharmacy (2021)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The Journal Club Spotlight on Pharmacy webcast featured presentations on various topics related to critical care medicine, including the use of hat therapy in sepsis and septic shock, the use of baclofen for alcohol withdrawal in the ICU, and the use of prophylactic anticoagulation in COVID-19 patients. The presenters discussed the latest research findings and their clinical implications. The first presenter summarized the VICTIS trial, which compared hat therapy to placebo in patients with sepsis and septic shock. The study found that hat therapy did not significantly increase ventilator and vasopressor-free days compared to placebo. The second presenter discussed the INSPIRATION trial, which compared intermediate dose to standard dose prophylactic anticoagulation in COVID-19 patients in the ICU. The study found that intermediate dose anticoagulation did not improve outcomes compared to standard dose anticoagulation. The third presenter discussed the use of baclofen for alcohol withdrawal in the ICU. The study found that baclofen did not significantly reduce agitation-related events compared to placebo. Overall, the presenters concluded that there is still uncertainty regarding the optimal treatment strategies for these conditions, and further research is needed to inform clinical practice.
