Speaker
Event Date & Time
DATE: November 11, 2019
TIME: 11:00am PST
Abstract
This webinar will explore how using VIDAS® B•R•A•H•M•S PCT™ (procalcitonin) and BIOFIRE® FILMARRAY® Blood Culture Identification Panel results can optimize antimicrobial stewardship in patients with sepsis.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss how to reduce antibiotic exposure with highly predictive low procalcitonin levels and positive highly multiplexed blood culture identification panel results
- Explain the high incidence of unnecessary antibiotics in viral infections
Webinars will be available for unlimited on-demand viewing after live event.
