SCCM Resource Library-Time Zero: ICU Care on Arrival to the ED (2022)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this lecture, Dr. Jayna Gardner-Gray discusses two studies focused on ICU care in the emergency department (ED). The first study examines the use of lung protective ventilation in the ED for mechanically ventilated patients. The findings suggest that the use of lung protective strategies in the ED is associated with lower hospital mortality, reduced incidence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), shorter duration of mechanical ventilation, and decreased length of stay in the ICU and the hospital. The second study compares the use of dexmedetomidine and propofol for sedation in mechanically ventilated adults with sepsis. The results show no significant difference in outcomes between the two medications, suggesting that the choice of sedative does not substantially affect patient outcomes in critical illness with sepsis. Ultimately, the study reinforces current guidelines recommending the use of either dexmedetomidine or propofol for sedation in these patients.
