Trial of the Week: SOAP II Special Guest: Jessica Casey, PharmD, BCPS, BCCP @jmc_cardspharmd   Jessica Casey joins to discuss the April Trial of the Week “Comparison of Dopamine and Norepinephrine in the Treatment of Shock,” the SOAP II study, published in NEJM in 2010. We set the scene by reviewing catecholamine vasopressor receptor physiology, guideline recommendations, and pre-SOAP II research. Then we do a deep dive into the SOAP II trial of the week. Did including all forms of shock help or hurt? How does the mortality in this study compare with others? Would this have been as positive of a study in 2024? What do the guidelines recommend now?

Trials of the Week: Landmark Nimodipine Studies Special Guest: Salia Farrokh, PharmD, BCCCP, FNCS @salia_farrokh   Salia Farrokh joins to highlight two landmark studies with nimodipine, “Cerebral Arterial Spasm – A Controlled Trial of Nimodipine in Patients with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage” published in NEJM in 1983 and “Effect of Oral Nimodipine on Cerebral Infarction and Outcome after Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: British Aneurysm Nimodipine Trial” published in 1989 in BMJ. We review aSAH treatments in the 1970’s and 1980’s and what evidence existed for nimodipine use before highlighting our two trials of the week. How does the study methodology compare from then to now? Where did our nimodipine dosing regimen come from? Is the term cerebral artery vasospasm out of date? Is it still appropriate to use evidence from the 1980’s in the 2020’s? Is there more to research with respect to nimodipine? What to do with missed nimodipine doses? We do a deep dive into all things nimodipine for aSAH, discussing the above and much more.   Reference list:  https://pharmacytodose.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/nimodipine-trial-of-the-week-references.pdf   PharmacyToDose.Com @PharmacyToDose [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
