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

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The Journal Club Spotlight on Pharmacy webcast featured three presentations. The first presentation was on the effects of dexamethasone on patients with moderate or severe ARDS and COVID-19. The study found that dexamethasone increased the number of ventilator-free days in these patients. The second presentation looked at the use of mitadrine to help wean off vasopressors in ICU patients with persistent hypotension. The study found that mitadrine did not have a significant effect on time to vasopressor discontinuation. The third presentation focused on the use of aspirin in healthy older adults to reduce deaths associated with sepsis. The trial found that aspirin did not have a significant effect on death or hospital admissions associated with sepsis. Overall, the presentations provided valuable insights into these treatment strategies, but more research is needed to fully understand their benefits and limitations.
