SCCM Resource Library-May Journal Club: Spotlight on Pharmacy (2021)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In today's Journal Club Spotlight on Pharmacy webcast, three studies were discussed on various topics related to critical care pharmacy. The first study looked at the use of tranexamic acid (TXA) for ultra-early treatment of subarachnoid hemorrhage. The ULTRA trial found that TXA did not improve clinical outcome at six months. The second study compared the use of haloperidol and four-factor prothrombin complex concentrate (PCC) for the reversal of factor Xa inhibitors in intracranial hemorrhage. The study found no significant difference in the stability of neuroimaging between the two treatments. The third study compared Indexnet Alpha with four-factor PCC for the reversal of oral factor Xa inhibitors in intracranial hemorrhage. The study found no significant difference in stable neuroimaging between the two treatments. Overall, these studies contribute to the growing body of evidence on the use of these medications in critical care settings. However, more research is needed to further evaluate their efficacy and determine the optimal treatment protocols.
