SCCM Resource Library-Thought Leader: Genetics and Genomics

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Karen Rudder-Rice, an Associate Professor of Nursing and Critical Care Medicine at Duke University, gave a thought leader session on genetics and genomics in critical care. She discussed the role of genetics and genomics in critical care and the challenges and opportunities they present. Precision medicine uses information about a person's own genes and proteins to prevent, diagnose, or treat disease, while precision health includes precision medicine but also focuses on disease prevention and health promotion. Dr. Rudder-Rice emphasized the importance of genetic and genomic information in critical care, as it can help reduce ambiguity and complexity in patient populations, improve health outcomes, and identify personalized therapies. She also discussed the challenges of interpreting genetic and genomic results, cost and access, legal and ethical considerations, and data sharing and analysis. Dr. Rudder-Rice highlighted the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and the potential of critical care registries and genomic data to advance precision health in critical care. She concluded by emphasizing the importance of ongoing research and the need for continued investment and expert collaboration in the field of genetics and genomics in critical care.
