What you need to know
This first session is intended to set the stage for the series. It will showcase early signs of sepsis and patients at risk with a question to answer: how can we detect sepsis earlier from both the physician and nurse’s perspective? How can diagnostics help identify patients who may develop sepsis?
Thursday 23 June 2022, 15-30-17:00 CEST ~ Sepsis: early diagnosis & management
The second live interactive session will tackle the early diagnosis and management of sepsis patients according to the latest surviving sepsis guidelines and the role diagnostic plays in this early phase.
Tuesday 28 June 2022, 15-30-17:00 CEST ~ Sepsis complications
This session will cover the most common complications of sepsis: AKI, ARDS… and how diagnostic tests can support the diagnostic and the follow up of these complications.
Tuesday 07 July 2022, 15-30-17:00 CEST ~ Sepsis and Antimicrobial Resistance
Sepsis will be examined in direct relation to antimicrobial resistance. How can we offer septic patients the best possible care and, at the same time, tackle antimicrobial resistance by evaluating the role of diagnostic tests in antimicrobial stewardship (AMS)?
Life after sepsis isn’t often in the spotlight. In this last session, we aim to present the PSS through the patient’s voice.
- You will be able to follow a thorough educational series based on keynote talks and live discussions on real clinical situations.
- The outstanding experts’ panel for each one of the webinars will facilitate helpful information on the management of sepsis from the early signs to post-sepsis syndrome.

- Discuss how to use diagnostics properly for identification of those patients who could develop sepsis
- Review the latest surviving sepsis surviving guidelines
