Course Focus and Learning Objectives

VetCE on Demand: Chemotherapy Induced Sepsis utilizes the archive of a live presentation under the same name.

Sepsis is often thought to be synonymous with infection. This course examines sepsis brought on from chemotherapy. It delves into how chemotherapy works on the cells of the body, specifically the white blood cells. It details symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment, as well as how to prevent a second episode.

At the end of the course participants should be able to:

  • describe how chemotherapy affects the immune system.
  • define sepsis and differentiate between the different types.
  • outline how to treat and prevent chemotherapy induced sepsis.
