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

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Today's Journal Club Spotlight on Pharmacy webcast featured three presentations. The first presentation discussed the BASICS trial, which compared balanced solutions to normal saline in critically ill patients. The study found that there was no significant difference in 90-day mortality between the two groups. The second presentation discussed the SCOPE-DKA trial, which compared different doses of dexamethasone in patients with diabetic ketoacidosis. The study found that there was no significant difference in the resolution of DKA between the two doses. The third presentation discussed the COVID Steroid 2 trial, which compared different doses of dexamethasone in patients with severe COVID-19. The study found that there was no significant difference in the number of days alive without life support between the two doses. Overall, these studies provide important insights into the use of fluids and steroids in critically ill patients. However, further research is needed to fully understand the optimal strategies for treatment.
