Infections in the Surgical Patient. What Does the Gram Stain Reveal?
Presented by Lisa Hall Zimmerman, Ph.D. Wednesday, January 15, 2020 6:00 PM EST This webinar is worth 1 Category 1-A CME credit.
In 2020 ACOS will launch the ACOS E-Learning Webinar Series, which will deliver multiple focused webinars that cover different aspects of the same topic within the same month. The first series will kick off in January with "Infections in the Surgical Patient. What Does the Gram Stain Reveal?" Session Description The most common infectious diseases in the hospital setting include pneumonia, bacteremia, intra-abdominal, and urinary tract infections. Appropriate antibiotic selection is critical when an infectious process is suspected. Surgery practitioners should be confident in the interpretation of the microbiological data. This webinar will discuss the specimen, Gram stain, and likely pathogens for common infectious diseases in the hospitalized patient. Learning Objectives During this webinar, participants will: 1. Discuss Gram stain and associated microbiology. 2. Review the impact of microbiology data. 3. Identify the potential causes of fever. 4. Identify pathogens associated with infections to design a therapeutic plan to optimize treatment.
Thanks to all who have expressed interest. The September webinar "Best Practices and Review in Trauma Surgery” will be rescheduled for some time in 2020.
