Event Overview:

“B·R·A·H·M·S PCT (Procalcitonin) plays an important role in preventing the misuse of antibiotics by aiding healthcare professionals in selecting the most effective treatment for bacterial infections. PCT-aided antibiotic stewardship helps to reduce antibiotic overuse and positively impacts key metrics such as antibiotic days of therapy, patient length of stay, and readmission rates.

In this session, Dr. Christopher Amaya and Mr. Terry Reeves will review PCT’s role in antibiotic stewardship and share their experience with effective PCT implementation to reduce antibiotic exposure and optimize patient outcomes. They will also highlight important aspects of the 2023 AACC PCT Guidance Document.”
