Immunoparalysis Sampling, Biomarkers, and Treatment Eligibility in Pediatric Sepsis

In this World Shared Practice Forum Podcast, Dr. Mark Hall discusses immunology and inflammation in pediatric sepsis treatment, using immune phenotyping to personalize treatment for pediatric sepsis. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Upon listening to this presentation, learners will be able to: - Recall the history of understanding the inflammatory response in critically ill children - Identify the distinction between the pro-inflammatory response and the immune paralysis phenomenon - Describe the study of immune phenotyping to personalize treatment for pediatric sepsis AUTHORS Mark W.
