APIC Virtual Symposium: Reducing Risk of CRBSIs in Hemodialysis Patients: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach

November 4 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EST

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.

Objectives:
  • Give an understanding of the challenges and risks faced by patients with ESKD who are receiving hemodialysis through a CVC.
  • Discuss the risks associated with CRBSIs and their impact on patient health and outcomes.
  • Explore clinical guidelines for preventing CRBSIs and the potential role of using additional measures such as a catheter lock solution to reduce risk.
  • Review clinical data on an antimicrobial lock solution that was recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration
  • Discover ways for health care teams to collaborate to prevent CRBSIs and improve patient outcomes.
