TechTalk: Taming the cytokine storm with near-patient immunoassay technology
Friday, August 14 at 16:00 BST | 17:00 CEST | 11:00 EDT | 08:00 PDT
A cytokine storm, or systemic hyperinflammation, is a life-threatening overreaction of the immune system that can rapidly drive organ failure, prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stays and increased mortality. In critical care settings, early identification and intervention are essential, yet detecting and managing these complex inflammatory responses remains a significant clinical challenge.
Join this expert-led SelectScience® TechTalk to explore the challenges associated with cytokine storm detection and management in critical care settings. Learn about the latest approaches to anti-inflammatory interventions, strategies for identifying patients most likely to benefit from treatment, and the growing need for rapid diagnostic insights to support timely clinical decision-making in the ICU.
At the centre of this discussion is the Randox Evidence MultiSTAT™ immunoassay platform, a near-patient testing solution designed to deliver rapid inflammatory biomarker results when they matter most. Discover how MultiSTAT is helping to address gaps in current patient management by providing actionable data closer to the patient, with the potential to support patient stratification, streamline care pathways, and improve the balance between clinical outcomes and healthcare costs.
Presented by Dr. Scott McKeown, a Near Patient Diagnostics Manager with a published research background in chronic inflammation, respiratory disease and cancer, this session combines real-world clinical insight with expertise in the technologies shaping the future of critical care diagnostics.
