SCCM Resource Library-Year in Review: Research Section: Recent Lessons Informing Future Critical Care Research

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The Research Section Year in Review session focused on the future of critical care research and covered various topics such as the learning health system, post-intensive care syndrome, and improving practices in the ICU. The session aimed to explore the technical and ethical challenges of health systems research and how to choose testable hypotheses. It also discussed the benefits of post-ICU clinics and strategies for successful implementation. The session highlighted the importance of evaluating different models for ICU staffing given the shortage of trained intensivists and compared the costs, benefits, and limitations of different models. The presentation on the learning health care system explained the concept of pragmatic trials and how they aim to improve practice, inform policy, and test new interventions in a real-world setting. The speaker also discussed the benefits of learning health care system trials, such as large, broadly generalizable patient populations, rapid enrollment, and real-world results. The presentation on post-intensive care syndrome emphasized the need for aftercare programs to support patients and families in their recovery from critical illness. The speaker discussed the challenges in implementing post-ICU clinics, such as lack of funding and space, and highlighted the importance of raising awareness about post-ICU problems among clinicians. The presentation on improving practices in the ICU presented the findings of rapid cycle surveys conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. The surveys highlighted the concerns and challenges faced by ICU clinicians, such as resource shortages, staffing issues, and the need for ongoing support and training. Overall, the session provided valuable insights into the future of critical care research and the importance of optimizing care for critically ill patients.
