Webcasts and On Demand

As the volume of published research in critical care grows, the need for synthesis of evidence becomes increasingly important. Attend the Society of Critical Care Medicine's (SCCM) upcoming free webcast, Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses in Critical Care Research, and discover how these are becoming key tools for evidence synthesis that most critical care clinicians must apply in their practice.

Many research questions in critical care may be addressed by SCCM members using these approaches. However, the conduct of systematic reviews and meta-analysis requires specialized methodology, including:

• Clear specification of the research question
• Comprehensive strategies for identifying relevant studies
• Appropriate statistical methods for analysis

This free webcast will provide an overview of the key steps involved for those interested in using these approaches in their own research and for readers of the critical care literature.

However, the work and sleep of physicians who have completed training have been seldom studied. In this webcast, co-author Rita N Bakhru, MD, MSCE, will discuss the Critical Care Medicine article “Sleep and Work in ICU Physicians During a Randomized Trial of Nighttime Intensivist Staffing” and the article’s relevance to clinical practice.
