This webinar is a joint initiative by ESICM and ESCMID.

How can we balance rapid, effective treatment of sepsis with the principles of responsible antimicrobial use?

Join us for an expert webinar exploring how the Surviving Sepsis Campaign and antimicrobial stewardship can work together in the ICU. The session will focus on practical strategies to optimise antimicrobial therapy while ensuring timely treatment of critically ill patients.

From early treatment to de-escalation: finding the right balance for better patient care and responsible antibiotic use.
