Neonatal Sepsis: A Global Challenge (CE Session)
Description:
Date/Time: September 25, 2024 | 2:10 - 2:40 pm ET
Each year, nearly one million newborns die worldwide. Despite advances in global health, efforts to reduce deaths from neonatal sepsis have fallen behind. This is largely due to the challenges of delivering appropriate care for newborns, accurately identifying those who need treatment, and effectively managing sepsis in this vulnerable population. This presentation will focus on critical aspects of defining and enhancing the diagnosis of this life-threatening condition.
Target Audience:
Nurses, advanced practice providers, physicians, emergency responders, pharmacists, medical technologists, respiratory therapists, physical/occupational therapists, infection prevention specialists, data/quality specialists, and more.
