Sponsor Innovation Webinar: Guiding Clinical Care Using Procalcitonin and Advanced Hemodynamic Monitoring: Insights from Two Companies
November 4, 2020 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Presented by Edwards and Roche
Edwards Session: Why Guess with Fluids? – How to use Technology to Drive Fluid and Perfusion Optimization
When patients experience poor perfusion caused by bacterial sepsis, COVID-19, or other disease processes, utilizing continuous advanced hemodynamic parameters can provide clarity into the effectiveness of clinical interventions. This webinar will review how advanced hemodynamic monitoring can easily integrate into clinical workflow to take the guesswork out of fluid administration.
Roche Session: Procalcitonin in Clinical Practice
Procalcitonin (PCT) is a biomarker that can provide clarity when assessing patients diagnosed or at risk of sepsis as PCT values rise in relation to a patient’s response to a bacterial-induced systemic infection. Dr. Justin Choi will describe how PCT has been integrated into clinical practice at New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Hospital and the impact of its implementation on sepsis and antibiotic stewardship management.
