ForwardAfter the Hospital: Longer-Term Impacts of Pediatric Sepsis
Webinar Description:
Each year, tens of thousands of children are hospitalized with sepsis. Fortunately, with early recognition and treatment, most survive hospitalization. However, many children go on to experience Post-Intensive Care Syndrome-pediatrics, which can involve a constellation of symptoms including new physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges as well as increased healthcare use. This presentation will review the epidemiology of the longer-term consequences facing pediatric sepsis survivors and their families and possible ways to limit or prevent such outcomes.
This course was originally recorded on 4/20/2022.
Target Audience
Nurses, physicians, pharmacists, emergency responders, healthcare management teams, and other healthcare staff may benefit.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the presentation, the attendee should be able to:
- Restate the features of Post-Intensive Care Syndrome-pediatrics among sepsis survivors;
- Identify risk factors for longer-term morbidities in those who survive pediatric sepsis;
- Summarize the recommended practices and strategies to mitigate Post-Intensive Care Syndrome-pediatrics.
