New free webinar

Replay available

 

Organised by the ESICM Intensive Care Medicine Experimental (ICMx) Journal, this webinar will present current approaches in sepsis research, with particular emphasis on host stress responses, and discuss the importance of the concepts of phenotyping and endotyping in sepsis.


Learning Outcomes

  • Understand host stress responses, particularly concerning species-specific survival strategies, multiple stressors and resource availability.
  • Recognise gaps in knowledge of organ- and tissue-specific host defence responses.
  • Identify endotypes or phenotypes that respond to therapy in sepsis patients and for future expansion of clinical trials.
  • Understand the relevance of macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) as a hyperinflammatory syndrome on outcomes in septic patients.
  • Characterise the presenting signs of MAS, diagnostic challenges and potential strategies to identify it in sepsis patients and enrich clinical trials.
