SCCM Resource Library-Women's Contribution to Critical Care Pharmacy Practice in 2021

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Bridget Crum, a Clinical Pharmacist and Residency Program Director, discusses the contributions of women pharmacists to critical care practice based on literature published in 2021. She reviewed various articles where women pharmacists were primary or senior authors, focusing on topics such as administration, anticoagulation reversal, infectious diseases, push dose vasopressors, sedation, and neuromuscular blocking agents. Some notable findings include a study on the relocation of medication pumps for isolated COVID patients resulting in decreased nursing room entry, comparisons of different dosing strategies for anticoagulation reversal with no significant differences in outcomes, the use of Bayesian software to predict vancomycin exposure in critically ill adults showing low bias and precision, the use of push dose vasopressors in septic shock resulting in early but transient improvements in blood pressure, and the association between sedation depth and respiratory drive in mechanically ventilated patients. Crum emphasizes the importance of supporting and encouraging women pharmacists in research and publishing, as well as the need for systematic changes to address gender disparities in the field.
