From Hundreds of Studies to Your Inbox
Our expert pharmacy team does the heavy lifting so you can focus on patient care.
We Scan
Our team reviews hundreds of studies published weekly across major pharmacy and medical journals.
We Filter
Pharmacy-first curation — only studies that directly affect your practice make the cut.
We Summarize
Concise, clinically-focused summaries with 5-minute audio narrations you can listen to anywhere.
We Deliver
Weekly delivery to your inbox plus on-demand access through the PACU mobile app.
Built for Pharmacists, Not Adapted from Physician Content
Most literature services repurpose physician-focused content. PACU is the only service designed from scratch for pharmacy professionals.
Pharmacy-Specific Signals
REMS updates, limited distribution alerts, payer policy changes, and formulary impacts — the context that matters to you.
Written by Pharmacists, for Pharmacists
Every summary is authored by practicing pharmacists who understand your workflow, not repurposed from physician content.
Audio Summaries for On-the-Go
5-minute audio narrations you can listen to during your commute, at the gym, or between shifts.
CE Credits Built In
Earn ACPE-accredited continuing education credits as part of the review process — no extra steps.
Physician-Focused Content
Studies selected for physician practice priorities, then loosely adapted. Pharmacy-specific implications are an afterthought.
No Pharmacy-Specific Context
Missing REMS updates, limited distribution changes, payer policy shifts, and formulary impact analysis.
Text Only
Long-form articles with no audio option. Difficult to consume during a busy clinical day.
CE Credits Sold Separately
Literature review and continuing education live in separate silos, requiring additional subscriptions and steps.
Literature Curated for Your Practice Area
Choose the tracks that match your clinical focus. Each track delivers curated articles, summaries, and audio reviews specific to that specialty.
Emergency Medicine & Critical Care
Resuscitation, sepsis management, toxicology, trauma pharmacotherapy, and critical care drug protocols.
Internal Medicine, ID & Cardiology
Antimicrobial stewardship, cardiovascular pharmacotherapy, diabetes management, and chronic disease optimization.
Oncology & Hematology
Novel therapies, supportive care advances, immunotherapy updates, and anticoagulation management.
Pediatrics & Neonatal Care
Pediatric dosing evidence, neonatal pharmacotherapy, vaccine updates, and age-specific safety data.
Specialty Pharmacy & Ambulatory
Limited distribution drugs, biosimilar updates, payer policy changes, and ambulatory care pharmacy studies.
What a PACU Literature Review Looks Like
Each review is structured for rapid clinical comprehension — article summary, key findings, pharmacy implications, and an audio companion.
Balanced Crystalloids vs. Normal Saline in Critically Ill Adults: Updated Evidence and Pharmacy Implications
New England Journal of Medicine · January 2026
Key Findings
- Balanced crystalloids associated with a 1.2% absolute reduction in 30-day mortality vs. normal saline (P = 0.04)
- Subgroup analysis shows greatest benefit in sepsis and surgical ICU populations
- Hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis occurred in 8.4% of NS group vs. 3.1% in balanced crystalloid group
Pharmacy Implications
- Review institutional IV fluid formulary and consider defaulting to balanced crystalloids for ICU resuscitation
- Work with P&T committee to update fluid resuscitation order sets and clinical pathways
- Cost analysis: LR ~$0.20/L more than NS — offset by reduced AKI and shorter ICU stays
