Deep Dive: Advances in the Care of Infectious Diseases in the ICU

Review the impact of emerging infections and new technologies for their diagnosis and management.

Virtual Deep Dive

Wednesday, September 20, 2023
11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Central Time
The course includes a half-day of virtual education and up to 3.75 hours of accredited continuing education credit and maintenance of certification points.

Gain an advanced update of the impact of emerging infections and new technologies for their diagnosis and management. Novel pathogens can have dramatic effects on critical care and global health. Knowledge of infectious diseases has improved dramatically, with new technologies promising to improve the ability to identify serious infections rapidly and to optimize therapy.

Upon completion of the course, you will be able to:

Recognize the importance of emerging special pathogens to critical care clinicians, including their early recognition, management, and systems of care
Describe new rapid molecular assays for pathogen identification in the ICU and their comparative effectiveness versus culture-based methods
Identify the role that biomarkers such as procalcitonin can play in the early identification and management of the infected patient with critical illness
Explore the impact of critical illness on antimicrobial pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics
