Stewardship at the Front Lines: The 2026 Surviving Sepsis Guidelines

The new Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines just made antibiotic stewardship a lot more interesting. Join us as we dig into three of the update's most consequential changes for stewardship programs: revised guidance on time to antibiotics, a new recommendation on prehospital antibiotic administration, and a conditional nod to selective digestive decontamination in ventilated patients. Featuring ID, emergency medicine, and pharmacy perspectives from a panel of national experts, moderated by Bryan Hess, member of IDSA’s AS Centers of Excellence Subcommittee.
