ForwardSponsored Webinar: Guiding Clinical Care Using Procalcitonin and Advanced Hemodynamic Monitoring: Insights from Two Companies
Webinar Description:
Sepsis Alliance Clinical Community Sponsor Innovation Webinar - Sponsored by Edwards and Roche
Edwards Session: Why Guess with Fluids? – How to use Technology to Drive Fluid and Perfusion Optimization
When patients experience poor perfusion caused by bacterial sepsis, COVID-19, or other disease processes, utilizing continuous advanced hemodynamic parameters can provide clarity into the effectiveness of clinical interventions. This webinar will review how advanced hemodynamic monitoring can easily integrate into clinical workflow to take the guesswork out of fluid administration.
Roche Session: Procalcitonin in Clinical Practice
Procalcitonin (PCT) is a biomarker that can provide clarity when assessing patients diagnosed or at risk of sepsis as PCT values rise in relation to a patient’s response to a bacterial-induced systemic infection. Dr. Justin Choi will describe how PCT has been integrated into clinical practice at New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Hospital and the impact of its implementation on sepsis and antibiotic stewardship management.
Target Audience
All healthcare providers
Learning Objectives
At the end of the presentation, the attendee will be able to:
- Examine evidence-based research to support volume optimization strategies;
- Review case studies including the practical application of advanced parameters including stroke volume and cardiac output;
- Evaluate how to incorporate stroke volume optimization as part of a nurse-driven protocol;
- Articulate the value that PCT brings to clinical practice and understand various use cases for clinical application of the biomarker.
Sepsis Alliance gratefully acknowledges the support provided for the Sepsis Alliance Clinical Community and this webinar by Edwards and Roche.
