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

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This Journal Club Spotlight on Pharmacy webcast, hosted by Grace Beebe from Henry Ford Hospital, featured three critical care pharmacy residents presenting recent studies. The first presentation by Madeline Pausch from the University of Arkansas reviewed the MIND-USA trial on long-term outcomes of using antipsychotics for delirium in critical illness. The study found no significant impact on long-term cognitive, psychological, or functional outcomes, aligning with current guidelines against routine antipsychotic use. Shelby Brookshire from Atrium Health Wake Forest covered the DCAT sepsis trial, examining dexmedetomidine's role in septic shock. While no significant reduction in mortality was found, there was a reduced need for additional vasopressors and a lower incidence of atrial fibrillation. Nathan Stadnyk from Corwell Health West discussed the AIR-E trial, exploring rifaximin with antibiotics for acute hepatic encephalopathy. The study found no significant benefit in primary and secondary outcomes, but suggested potential benefits in decompensated cirrhosis, warranting more research. Overall, these studies emphasized careful application of current guidelines and indicated areas for future research.
