SCCM Resource Library-September Journal Club: Spotlight on Pharmacy (2023)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this Journal Club Spotlight on Pharmacy webcast, three presenters discuss the findings of different trials related to pharmacy and critical care medicine. The first presentation focuses on a randomized controlled trial comparing prolonged sedation with sevoflurane to intravenous sedation in critically ill patients. The trial found that patients treated with sevoflurane had a shorter time to extubation compared to those treated with propofol. However, there were no significant differences in hemodynamics or length of stay between the two groups. The second presentation discusses a trial comparing dual antiplatelet therapy to alteplase for patients with minor non-disabling acute ischemic stroke. The trial found that dual antiplatelet therapy was non-inferior to alteplase in terms of excellent functional outcomes at 90 days. The third presentation focuses on a secondary analysis of a trial comparing fentanyl to morphine for anal sedation in ventilated patients. The analysis found that patients receiving fentanyl were 20% more likely to develop delirium compared to those receiving morphine. The study also found that the use of antipsychotic medications did not significantly impact outcomes. Overall, these trials provide valuable insights into sedation and analgesia strategies in critically ill patients.
