Antimicrobial Resistance is jeopardizing the treatment of infections worldwide.
It is seriously affecting the critical care physicians ability to provide successful intensive care
and outcomes.
Sepsis Congress 2015 will specifically focus on Pk/Pd of antibiotics and antifungal with
currently available knowledge regarding optimized clinical use of revived old antibiotics
such as colistin, fosfomycin, minocycline etc. The aim is to provide an updated insight into
clinical PK/PD concepts, improved dosage regimens, combinations, appropriate
indications in critical ill patients with MDR infections.
This years congress will also debate the extra corporeal therapies role in the management
of Sepsis.
The meeting brings galaxy of experts faculty in the field of Sepsis management. The
presentations portray the bedside science and integrates research till date. Carefully
chosen topics should help you translate the science into practice. Sepsis Congress 2015
endeavors to raise the quality bar in practice, research and education of Sepsis in this part of
world.
The pre-conference infectious Disease Board Review Course is an excellent course for the
fellows in training and the organizing team sincerely requests to encourage your fellows to
participate in this popular course.
Come and join the fight against sepsis.
Stop SEPSIS save LIVES !
