SCCM Resource Library-December Journal Club: Spotlight on Pharmacy (2022)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The Journal Club Spotlight on Pharmacy webcast discussed three different studies related to critical care pharmacy. The first study focused on the use of haloperidol for the treatment of delirium in ICU patients. The study found that haloperidol did not significantly increase the number of days alive and out of the hospital compared to placebo in critically ill patients with delirium. The second study looked at the safety and efficacy of prophylactic levatiracetam for prevention of epileptic seizures in acute intracerebral hemorrhage. The study found that levatiracetam was effective in preventing acute seizures in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. The third study compared thrombectomy alone versus intravenous alteplase plus thrombectomy in patients with stroke. The study found that thrombectomy plus alteplase was more effective than thrombectomy alone in improving functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Overall, these studies provide valuable insights into the use of pharmacotherapy in critical care settings.
