Sepsis continues to pose a significant clinical challenge, with early identification and targeted intervention being key to improving patient outcomes. This symposium focuses on evidence-based opportunities to enhance sepsis care, particularly the role of optimized blood culture practices in guiding antimicrobial therapy. Key themes include standardized protocols for collection—emphasizing timing, adequate volume, and aseptic technique—as essential components of quality control.
The major objective of the symposium is to align diagnostic accuracy with timely therapeutic decisions, while also exploring current sepsis interventions such as early goal-directed therapy, source control, and advanced hemodynamic monitoring. Watch the symposium highlights to explore expert-driven strategies for improving diagnostic yield, ensuring blood culture quality assurance, and implementing effective…
