ForwardPhenotypes in Pediatric Sepsis and the Importance of Personalized Care | Maternal Sepsis in 2022 and Beyond
Session Descriptions:
This activity includes two sessions from Sepsis Alliance Summit to meet the minimum time requirement for nursing CE credits.
Phenotypes in Pediatric Sepsis and the Importance of Personalized Care
Pediatric sepsis is a heterogenous disease: not every child with sepsis has the same type of response to infection or presents with the same clinical picture. These differences can make some children more likely to respond to, or be harmed by, specific therapies. Different children may require very different clinical trajectories. In this presentation, learners will review the importance of identifying and studying phenotypes of pediatric sepsis to advance the science of this potentially devastating syndrome, and how to provide more personalized care to the children affected by it.
Maternal Sepsis in 2022 and Beyond
Maternal sepsis is one of the leading causes of pregnancy-related death in United States and can result from any infection that occurs during pregnancy, childbirth, post-abortion, miscarriage, or the postpartum period. Early recognition of sepsis is key to saving the lives of birthing people. During this session, learners will review common challenges in early identification of maternal sepsis, discuss key management strategies for this patient population, and highlight future considerations for sepsis in obstetrics.
These sessions were originally presented in September 2022 as part of Sepsis Alliance Summit.
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.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the session, the learner should be able to:
Phenotypes in Pediatric Sepsis and the Importance of Personalized Care
- Restate the importance of phenotypes and personalized care in pediatric sepsis;
- List some key examples of pediatric sepsis phenotypes described in the literature;
- Describe the concepts of predictive and prognostic enrichment and how they relate to phenotypes and personalized care in pediatric sepsis.
Maternal Sepsis in 2022 and Beyond
- List common challenges in early identification of maternal sepsis;
- Identify key management strategies for maternal sepsis;
- Discuss future considerations for the treatment of maternal sepsis.
