Sepsis Care Advanced: An Intensivist's Perspective
Description:
Date/Time: September 28, 2023 | 3:40 - 4:10 pm ET
Sepsis is a medical emergency and early recognition is imperative to allowing treatment to begin early in the course of illness, thereby hopefully preventing avoidable deterioration and adverse patient outcomes. Early signs and symptoms can often be subtle or mask other conditions, so timely diagnosis and treatment of sepsis remains challenging for frontline clinicians.
During this session the presenter will review sepsis pathophysiology from the intensivist's perspective utilizing real sepsis cases. Key principles of evidence-based care to treat advanced sepsis in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) will also be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this session, the learner should be able to:
- Describe the key principles of sepsis physiology;
- Explain the physiological phases of sepsis through patient cases;
- Summarize key principles of sepsis care.
