Dr. Arden Barry shares his team's findings from their large population database when evaluating the effect of exposure to P2Y12 inhibitors, versus no exposure, on the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events. The results support the use of P2Y12 inhibitors (primarily clopidogrel), in addition to other standard cardiovascular preventive therapy, in patients who undergo CABG surgery, but take a listen for all the details.

In this episode, Stuart Haines, JACCP Editor-in-Chief, interviews Dr. Andrea Sikora, Dr. Brian Murray, and Dr. Susan Smith about their recently published consensus recommendations for integrating critical care pharmacists into intensive care unit (ICU) teams which was endorsed by ACCP as well as the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses, American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Institute of Safe Medication Practices, and the Society of Critical Care Medicine.  The paper was published in the September 2025 issue of JACCP and is available open access. The document addresses the "unmet need" of operationalizing the pharmacist's role, as evidence suggests that many ICUs still lack a critical care pharmacist. The recommendations go beyond simply advocating for pharmacists; they provide a blueprint for hospitals to optimize pharmacist services, including direct and indirect patient care activities. The paper and its supplementary materials, which include an institutional assessment checkl

Dr. Aditi Shendre shares her team's analysis of pharmacology knowledge gaps in opioids in the maternal and pediatric populations. Surprisingly, there is substantial disparity between the most commonly researched and prescribed opioids. In particular, the opioid pharmacology knowledge gaps are larger in pregnant women and for the highly prescribed opioids hydrocodone and oxycodone. Learn valuable lessons for practice from their analysis of this data set. Read the full text manuscript at: https://accpjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/phar.70024.
