SUMMARY:APIC Virtual Symposium: Reducing Risk of CRBSIs in Hemodialysis Patients: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach
DESCRIPTION:Join APIC for an insightful presentation that features a patient’s perspective on living with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and experiencing a catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) while receiving hemodialysis through a central venous catheter (CVC)\, and the perspective of an Infectious Disease physician who manages these patients and will review the risks of CRBSIs\, strategies for prevention\, and ways that multi-disciplinary teams can work together to protect patients. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nObjectives: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGive an understanding of the challenges and risks faced by patients with ESKD who are receiving hemodialysis through a CVC.\nDiscuss the risks associated with CRBSIs and their impact on patient health and outcomes.\nExplore clinical guidelines for preventing CRBSIs and the potential role of using additional measures such as a catheter lock solution to reduce risk.\nReview clinical data on an antimicrobial lock solution that was recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration\nDiscover ways for health care teams to collaborate to prevent CRBSIs and improve patient outcomes.
