22123 Upgrading the VOD/SOS Management Tool Kit

Are you up to the challenge of veno-occlusive disease (VOD)/sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS)—a serious complication arising in the aftermath of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation? In addition to life-threatening organ dysfunction in serious cases, VOD presents additional diagnostic and assessment challenges based on its varied onset time and symptomatology. PeerView’s Clinical Consults CME video will help you meet these challenges head-on through a series of case-centric lectures illustrating how modern VOD management techniques can improve outcomes in adult and pediatric patients at risk for this post-transplant complication. Throughout, our expert panelists will highlight the modern tools and evidence that can help capture VOD cases, determine the presence of organ dysfunction, and support the initiation of timely supportive care and pharmacologic treatment.
