SCCM Resource Library-Pragmatic Trials in the Digital Age

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Gordon Bernard, the Executive Vice President for Research and the Chief Research Officer at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award for his work in improving the care of critically ill patients. His research has focused on sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Dr. Bernard established the Vanderbilt Coordinating Center in 1987, which has supported large, multi-institutional and international clinical investigations. He has also led the NIH ARDS Clinical Trials Network for over 20 years. Dr. Bernard's research has led to changes in clinical practice, including the use of low tidal volume ventilation for ARDS patients. He has also conducted studies on chlorhexidine baths in the ICU, bag-mask ventilation during intubation, and the use of balanced crystalloids compared to saline for fluid resuscitation. Dr. Bernard's work has shown that balanced crystalloids reduce the incidence of major adverse renal events and mortality. He has also discussed the importance of implementing research findings into everyday clinical practice through a learning healthcare system.
