In commemoration of World Sepsis Day, we are thrilled to host a series of insightful discussions aimed at raising awareness and advancing our understanding of sepsis. Throughout this week, we will delve into critical topics such as the intersection of sepsis and antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and the development of effective diagnostic protocols.

Key Takeaways: 

• How diagnostic and antibiotic stewardship are critical to combatting AMR and reducing the impact of sepsis
• Clinical scenarios which are particularly challenging both for the lab and the clinician in diagnosis sepsis
• Broad strategies around effective and efficient blood culture prescriptions and how it  links to impact on patient clinical outcomes

Dates: 10^th to 12^th September 2024 

Session Details: 

In this series of talks, you will hear from our experts, healthcare professionals, and thought leaders to share their knowledge and experiences. Together, we can make strides in improving sepsis diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

Sepsis and AMR

11^th September 2024 | 2:00PM - 2:45PM (GMT+8)

Sepsis is the body’s overwhelming and life-threatening response to an infection and is a leading cause of mortality and critical illness worldwide.  Antimicrobial resistance challenges the treatment of sepsis. As more germs become resistant to antimicrobial medicines used to treat infection, more people are at risk for developing sepsis and [drug-resistant infections.  Diagnostic and antibiotic stewardship are critical to combatting AMR and reducing the impact of sepsis, globally.
