PEARL: Pharmacy Education Applied to Resident Learners.

Introduction: Emergency medicine residents typically train with the support of emergency medicine pharmacists (EMP), but many EM residents will practice in post-graduation settings without EMP assistance. Therefore, a novel pharmacy curriculum for postgraduate year-1 (PGY-1) EMRs was developed, implemented, and assessed.

Methods: We performed a controlled study of 25 residents from two separate EM programs in Detroit, MI.

Increased Enoxaparin Dosing Requirements for Treatment of Deep Vein Thrombosis in a Severely Burned Patient: Case Report and Literature Review.

Dosing of enoxaparin for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis in acutely burned patients has been shown to result in anti-Xa levels below target range. We describe the first case report, to our knowledge, of a severely burned patient who, despite prophylactic dosing of enoxaparin 30 mg subcutaneously twice daily, developed an acute DVT that required high-dose enoxaparin (100 mg [1.5 mg/kg] subcutaneously every 8 hours) to maintain anti-Xa levels within the therapeutic range (0.

Evaluating the risk profile of quetiapine in treating delirium in the intensive care adult population: A retrospective review.

Purpose: Dosing regimens of quetiapine to treat delirium in critically ill patients are titrated to effect, and may utilize doses higher than previously reported. This study aimed to assess the safety of quetiapine for this indication.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective medical chart review was conducted, identifying 154 critically ill adults that were initiated on quetiapine to treat delirium and monitored for QTc prolongation.
