SCCM Resource Library-July Journal Club: Spotlight on Pharmacy (2023)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the Journal Club Spotlight on Pharmacy webcast, three presenters discussed different research studies related to pharmacy practice in critical care settings. The first presenter discussed the Intensive Care Bundle with Blood Pressure Reduction in Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage Trial, or INTERACT III, which investigated the impact of aggressive blood pressure reduction on outcomes in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage. The study found that early intensive blood pressure lowering was associated with improved functional outcomes in these patients. The second presenter discussed the comparative effectiveness of fludrocortisone and hydrocortisone versus hydrocortisone alone in patients with septic shock. The study found that the addition of fludrocortisone to hydrocortisone did not result in a significant difference in functional outcomes at six months, but did reduce early mortality. The third presenter discussed the pre-hospital tranexamic acid for severe trauma trial, which looked at the administration of tranexamic acid in the pre-hospital setting for patients with severe trauma. The study did not find a significant difference in functional outcomes, but did find a potential benefit in reducing early mortality. Overall, these studies provide valuable insights into the use of specific interventions in critical care settings and can inform clinical practice.
