SCCM Resource Library-Late-Breaking Studies That Will Change Your Practice

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Timothy Buchman, Editor-in-Chief of Critical Care Medicine, introduces the Plenary Late Breaker Session at the 2021 virtual Critical Care Congress. The session features presentations on various topics related to critical care medicine. Dr. Buchman is joined by Dr. Howard Bauchner, Editor-in-Chief of JAMA, and Dr. Darren Tashman, Deputy Editor and Online Editor of the New England Journal of Medicine, who introduce late-breaking studies that will be presented. Dr. Christopher Hughes presents the highlights of the MENDS-II study, a multicenter trial comparing dexmedetomidine and propofol for sedation in mechanically ventilated adults with sepsis. The study found no significant difference between the two medications in terms of outcomes such as days alive without delirium or coma, ventilator-free days, and mortality. Dr. Amos Lau presents the outcomes of patients with COVID-19 receiving organ support therapies, based on data from the VIRUS registry. The study found a high frequency of major adverse events such as cardiovascular instability, severe hypoxia, and cardiac arrest during tracheal intubation in these patients. Dr. Erik von Ulrich presents a nationwide cohort study on opioid use after intensive care, finding that opioid consumption increased even after two years post-ICU admission, and that chronic opioid use was associated with increased mortality.
