The webinar will clarify the positive predictive value in the Emergency Department as well as the negative predictive value in the undifferentiated patient.
Key learning objectives:
- Understand the role of pct for acute presentation in the emergency dept. of upper resp infection and sepsis
- Understand appropriate use of pct and how to interpret pct levels in the emergency department
