Sponsored Webinar: The Role of Procalcitonin in Antimicrobial Stewardship: Lessons Learned from the Pandemic
Date: December 6, 2022 Time: 2:00 - 3:00 pm ET / 11:00 am - 12:00 pm PT Description: Procalcitonin (PCT) is a vital biomarker that became an invaluable indicator of disease severity and bacterial co-infections during the COVID-19 outbreak. Because PCT can guide healthcare professionals to the most appropriate antimicrobial therapies, it is also closely connected to responsible stewardship. In this sponsored webinar, participants will have the opportunity to review some of the most critical lessons learned over the last few years…

December 15, 2022 12PM – 3:30PM ET / 9AM – 12:30PM PT Register here. Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) present a serious concern for healthcare professionals: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that one in every 31 hospital patients has at least one HAI each day. Healthcare-associated infections, like any infection, can cause sepsis. Healthcare-associated infection prevention measures are, therefore, also sepsis prevention measures. The 2022 Healthcare-Associated Infection Mini-Summit will offer a virtual 3.5-hour clinical program on several critical…

Date: January 20, 2023 Time: 2:00 - 3:00 pm ET / 11:00 am - 12:00 pm PT Description: Despite the 2021 Surviving Sepsis Campaign’s recommendation to “implement any required source control intervention as soon as medically and logistically practical” when treating patients with sepsis, there has, until recently, been little data available to suggest what impact time to source control may have on patient outcomes. However, a July 2022 study of 4,962 patients with sepsis undergoing source control interventions in a 14-hospital…
