Clinical Applications of Procalcitonin in an Emergency and In-Patient Setting

Insights for Enhanced Patient Care and Diagnosis

Explore the vital role of procalcitonin (PCT) in the diagnosis, monitoring, and management of sepsis across emergency and critical care settings. This webinar also addresses how PCT supports antibiotic stewardship and helps combat resistance.

Key Learning Objectives:

Demystifying Procalcitonin: Gain a clear understanding of procalcitonin as a biomarker—its origin, biological role, and how it differs from other sepsis indicators like CRP and lactate.
Diagnostic Precision in Sepsis: Explore the role of procalcitonin in identifying bacterial infections and distinguishing them from viral or non-infectious causes, aiding in accurate and timely diagnosis.
Guiding Antibiotic Therapy: Learn how PCT levels can guide the initiation and discontinuation of antibiotic treatment, improving clinical decision-making and reducing unnecessary use.
Clinical Utility Across Care Settings: Understand how procalcitonin testing is applied in emergency departments, ICUs, and urgent care settings to support risk stratification and patient management.

This webinar seeks to deepen your understanding of procalcitonin and its pivotal role in the diagnosis, management, and treatment optimization of sepsis across healthcare settings.
