Next Frontier: Microbiome and Epigenetics in the Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock
Next Frontier: Microbiome and Epigenetics in the Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock is organized by American Association of Critic al-Care Nurses (AACN).
Released/Updated: Aug 24, 2021
Expires: Dec 31, 2024
Activity Summary:
Emerging research in the microbiome and epigenetics is changing the way we understand sepsis and septic shock. The one size fits all of approach of sepsis treatment (cultures, antibiotics, fluid resuscitation, and vasopressors) may be replaced by a tailored approach taking into consideration the patient’s host response, microbiome, and the epigenetic changes related to the invasive organism. Join us for an advanced look at where the future lies in the management of sepsis and septic shock.
Objectives:
• Discuss the effect of epigenetic modifications with respect to sepsis and septic shock.
• Describe novel management strategies of sepsis and septic shock using concepts learned regarding the microbiome.
• Outline novel management strategies of sepsis and septic shock using concepts learned regarding epigenetics.
Topics: Infectious Disease, Sepsis
