SCCM Pod-504 CCM: Baricitinib or Tocilizumab for Severe COVID-19

Host Marilyn N. Bulloch, PharmD, BCPS, FCCM, is joined by Joy Peterson, PharmD, BCPS, BCIDP, and Neha Paranjape, MD, MPH, to discuss the Critical Care Medicine article, "Outcomes and Adverse Effects of Baricitinib Versus Tocilizumab in the Management of Severe COVID-19,” which delves into the comparative outcomes, mortality rates, and adverse effects of baricitinib and tocilizumab in severe COVID-19 cases.


Concise Critical Appraisal: Impact of a Machine Learning Early Warning Score on Hospital Mortality

Common causes of death in hospitals, such as sepsis and respiratory failure, are treatable and benefit from early intervention. Machine learning algorithms or early warning scores can be used for early identification and recognition to potentially help accelerate interventions and limit morbidity and mortality. This Concise Critical Appraisal explores an article published in Critical Care Medicine that looked at the impact of one of these early warning scores—electronic cardiac arrest risk triage (eCART)—on mortality for elevated-risk adult inpatients.
