Sepsis in Dialysis: Recognition, Risk, and Response

Join ASTHO for a webinar on sepsis recognition, risk, and response. Knowing the signs and symptoms of sepsis and what to do to address and prevent it can significantly reduce risk and enhance patient safety in the dialysis setting. This 1-hour webinar convenes frontline dialysis clinicians, leaders, and public health partners to discuss practical strategies to get ahead of sepsis emergencies.

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Identify early clinical signs, symptoms, and patient-specific risk factors for sepsis in individuals receiving dialysis to support prompt recognition and intervention.
• Describe key infection prevention approaches that can help reduce sepsis risk in the dialysis setting.
• Discuss strategies that support effective team communication, coordination, and shared responsibility for patient safety in dialysis.
• Continuing education for this activity is pending. See the final announcement for details. The webinar and CE are free, but registration is required.
