Virtual Deep Dive

Wednesday, May 8, 2024
11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. Central Time
The course includes 4 hours of virtual education and up to 3.75 accredited continuing education credits and maintenance of certification points.

Review the latest research and findings about the human microbiome, conservatively estimated at 10 trillion bacteria and counting. With an emphasis on practical knowledge and translational research, these findings can inform critical care clinicians about how health can be restored and lives saved in the intensive care unit setting. Knowledge of the microbiome in the context of both normal and altered physiology helps clinicians make meaningful management decisions that have the potential to enhance critical care outcomes.
 
Learning Objectives
  • Describe the normal microbiome as well as the abnormalities that are a product of sepsis and severe illness
  • Review which therapeutic interventions have the potential to both positively and negatively impact outcomes
  • Design single- and multi-institutional research studies addressing the human microbiome
