Transitions of Care for Pediatric Sepsis Survivors: From Hospital to Home (CE Session)
Description:
Date/Time: September 27, 2023 | 2:25 - 2:55 pm ET
Each year, tens of thousands of children are hospitalized with sepsis. Fortunately, with early recognition and treatment, many can survive hospitalization. However, those survivors can experience new physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges, as well as increased healthcare use after hospital discharge. This session will review epidemiology of the post-hospital consequences facing sepsis survivors and possible strategies to limit or prevent such outcomes during hospitalization, near discharge, and at home.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this session, the learner should be able to:
- Recognize the physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional sequelae among sepsis survivors after hospitalization;
- Explain the recommended practices and strategies to mitigate challenges and complications post-sepsis.
