SCCM Resource Library-May Journal Club: Spotlight on Pharmacy (2024)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The Journal Club Spotlight on Pharmacy webcast featured three presenters discussing different trials related to critical care and trauma management. The first presenter, Jordan Holmeyer, discussed the use of inhaled amicasin to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia. She presented the Amikin-Hall trial, which showed a decrease in the incidence of VAP with inhaled amicasin, but the overall clinical significance was questioned due to other factors involved in VAP treatment.<br /><br />The second presenter, RJ Mendoza, presented the Eradicate trial, focusing on the use of ceftobiprol for complicated staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. The trial compared ceftobiprol to daptomycin and found no significant improvement in survival with ceftobiprol, leading to the conclusion that it may not be recommended as a standard practice for MRSA bacteremia.<br /><br />The final presenter, Madison Coons, discussed the CryoStat-2 randomized controlled trial, which investigated the use of early and empirical high-dose cryoprecipitate for hemorrhage after traumatic injury. The trial did not show an improvement in all-cause 28-day mortality with the use of cryoprecipitate, and suggested further research to fully characterize the safety and benefits of fibrinogen replacement in trauma patients.<br /><br />Overall, the presentations highlighted the importance of evidence-based practice in critical care and trauma management, while raising questions about the optimal strategies for preventing complications in these patient populations.
