Date: March 18, 2025
Time: 2 PM ET/11 AM PT
Description:
Timely diagnosis is one of the most important factors for successful treatment of sepsis. But unlike diabetes or kidney stones, there is no one test for sepsis. So how is sepsis diagnosed, especially in earlier stages when it is easier to treat?
In this presentation, learn about the blood and other tests that can be used to help determine if someone has sepsis and the possible source of their infection, along with various scoring systems that can help measure the severity of possible sepsis and guide treatment decisions.
