Chair: Jaffar Al-Tawfiq, Saudi Arabia
Co-Chair: Vrinda Nampoothiri, India

Speakers:
  • Nesrine Rizk, Lebanon
    • Sepsis Management Challenges
  •  Imad Bou Akl, Lebanon
    • Sepsis Management Guideline Update

Webinar Outline:
Sepsis is the body’s extreme response to an infection. Despite recent progress in the understanding and treatment of sepsis, few data or recommendations exist that detail effective approaches to sepsis care in resource-limited low-income and middle-income countries. Although few data exist on the burden of sepsis in LMICs, the prevalence of HIV and other comorbid conditions in some LMICs suggest that sepsis is a substantial contributor to mortality in these regions. In well-resourced countries, sepsis management relies on protocols and complex invasive technologies not widely available in most LMICs. However, key concepts and components of sepsis management are potentially translatable to resource-limited environments. Health personnel in LMICs should learn how to recognize sepsis and the importance of early and appropriate antibiotic use and laboratory diagnosis of sepsis. Simple and low-cost standardized laboratory testing should be emphasized to allow accurate diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of treatment response. Evidence-based interventions and treatment algorithms tailored to LMIC ecology and resources should thus be developed and validated.
