SCCM Resource Library-Research Highlights in Neuroscience from 2021

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Susan Yanker, a lead nurse practitioner in neurocritical care, presented research highlights in neuroscience in 2021 at the Society of Critical Care Medicine Annual Conference. One study focused on benzodiazepine underdosing in the treatment of status epilepticus, showing that underdosing occurred frequently and there were delays in adequate dosing. Another study compared hypothermia and normothermia in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients and found no significant difference in survival or functional outcomes. The last study explored intensive blood pressure management in patients with anterior circulation thrombus and found that maintaining blood pressure below 130 did not improve outcomes. Further research is required in all these areas.
