“Post-Sepsis Syndrome: Recognition & Management”

Sepsis Alliance Network* presents…“Post-Sepsis Syndrome: Recognition & Management”

Post-sepsis syndrome affects up to 50% of sepsis survivors, and is associated with cognitive, physical and mental health impairments.

This webinar will review signs and symptoms of sepsis and categorize them from a review of the literature. Opportunities for improving outcomes, including determination of a patient’s goals of care, functional and mental health rehabilitation, and infection prevention, are discussed.
