Sepsis

Sepsis: Translational Approaches to Therapy.
ABSTRACT:

Sepsis, a clinical syndrome of systemic inflammation, develops due to a dysregulation of the normal host response to infection. Signaling through the Toll-like receptors initiates a pro-inflammatory cascade resulting in release of cytokines including TNF, IL-1 and HMGB-1. These cytokines have wide-ranging effects leading to hypotension, microvascular coagulation, hypoperfusion, and tissue damage. Thus far, targeting individual cytokines has not proven clinically effective, despite encouraging pre-clinical data. Current attempts to target late mediators of sepsis, or multiple cytokines via the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, may hold promise for the future.

Sepsis; Management of Sepsis
ABSTRACT:

The incidence of sepsis/septic shock (934,000 cases predicted this year) continues to rise and the mortality associated with this condition (30-50%) remains unacceptably high despite advances in antibiotic treatment and supportive care. There are, however, a number of clinical trials using evidence-based approaches to the management of sepsi that have been shown to improve outcomes. The transition from SIRS to severe sepsis oftem occurs during the “golden hours” (the first 6 hours) when definitive treatment provides maximal benefits. These golden hours may elapse in the emergency department, ICU, medical or surgical floor. A goal directed hemodynamic resuscitation is an algorithmic approach to the maximization of systemic oxygen delivery through manipulation of preload, after load and contractility to preserve

OBJECTIVES

To discuss the pathophysiology underlying the development of sepsis
To identify clinical applications of anti-inflammatory therapy in the treatment of sepsis
To identify early sepsis/septic shock
To initiate early goal directed therapy

Mission of Continuing Medical Education.

The Committee For Innovations In Medical Education is committed to providing outstanding patient care and promoting physician innovations through excellence in medical education. To achieve this mission, the Committee affirms its support of the medical staff by endorsing and providing a comprehensive program of continuing medical education (CME) designed to address the identified needs of physicians and other health care professionals. To keep physicians in the forefront of current knowledge, the CME program shall be broad and diverse enough to provide a wide array of presentations by leading experts. Programs will be designed to improve scientific knowledge, clinical skills and professional concern for the interests and rights of patients.

The Committee For Innovations In Medical Education , recognizes its responsibility to utilize its resources to contribute to the education of the profession regionally, nationally and internationally to enhance physicians ability to practice the highest level of medicine. The CME program accomplishes this goal by supporting departments and faculty who undertake the design and development of CME activities that enrich the arena of professional continuing medical education. The Committee, through its CME program, is committed to keeping abreast of, and developing, new methods of delivering CME, as techniques for accomplishing this become available to the scientific community.

Glycemic Control in the Hospital

ABSTRACT:

The management of the in-patient hyperglycemia and diabetes has been controversial. New guidelines for targets of glycemic control have been published and will be reviewed. Appropriate use of insulin, and implementation of insulin order sheets, will be reviewed. New data on targets of glycemic control for out-patients will be highlighted.

OBJECTIVES

To be able to choose appropriate targets for inpatient glucose control.
To be able to use insulin order sheet for basal bolus regimen.
