SEPSIS, NEONATAL: IDENTIFYING AND MANAGING

Course overview

Early identification of sepsis in neonates can be a challenge because newborn signs of systemic infection are often nonspecific. A continuum of signs and symptoms of sepsis exist, ranging from systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) to septic shock. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of identification and management of neonatal sepsis. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
