SCCM Resource Library-January Journal Club Webcast: Spotlight on Pharmacy (2020)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this Journal Club webinar, three presenters discussed different topics in pharmacy practice. The first presenter discussed the development and validation of a medication regimen complexity scoring tool for critically ill patients. The tool aims to objectively assess medication regimens and guide the justification and allocation of pharmacist services in the ICU. The presenter explained the development process and reported on the tool's validity and association with important clinical outcomes. The second presenter focused on the treatment of solid organ injuries in status epilepticus. They reviewed the current guidelines and discussed the results of the ESET study, which compared the effectiveness of three anticonvulsant medications. The study found no significant difference between the medications in terms of seizure termination and improvement in consciousness. The presenter highlighted the limitations of the study and discussed the implications for treatment of status epilepticus. The third presenter discussed the challenges in managing status epilepticus and the lack of consensus on the optimal second-line anticonvulsant medication. They reviewed the current guidelines and discussed the results of the ESET study. The presenter highlighted the limitations of the study and emphasized the need for further research in this area.
