Trial of the Week: ESETT

Trial of the Week: ESETT Special Guest: Ashley McCormick, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP   Ashley McCormick joins to discuss the April Trial of the Week “Randomized Trial of Three Anticonvulsant Medications for Status Epilepticus” the ESETT study, published in NEJM in 2019. We set the scene by reviewing ASM PK/PD properties and discussing if there was a standard of care first-line treatment. Then we do a deep dive into the ESETT trial of the week. Did the 75kg dose cap influence results? How appropriate was the BZD dosing? How does this % of seizure cessation compare to other studies? Where did this dosing scheme come from? Trial fun facts, medication safety considerations, and much, much more.
