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

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this Journal Club Spotlight on Pharmacy webcast, three presenters discussed the findings of recent studies in their respective fields. The first presenter discussed a study on the efficacy of ketamine for initial control of acute agitation in the emergency department. The study found that ketamine was faster at controlling agitation compared to other medications, such as benzodiazepines and antipsychotics. The second presenter discussed a study on the use of hydromorphone versus fentanyl-based sedation regimens in patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) . The study found that hydromorphone-based sedation was associated with more days alive, delirium-free, and coma-free compared to fentanyl-based sedation. The third presenter discussed a study on the effects of tranexamic acid (TXA) on death and thromboembolic events in patients with acute gastrointestinal bleeding. The study found that a high-dose 24-hour infusion of TXA did not reduce death due to bleeding but was associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolic events and seizures. Overall, these studies provide new insights into the use of medications in critical care settings.
