Abstract

KOHN LONCARICA, Guillermo; FUSTINANA, Ana  and  JABORNISKY, Roberto. Recommendations for the management of pediatric septic shock in the first hour (part two). Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2019, vol.117, n.1, pp.e24-e33. ISSN 0325-0075.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5546/aap.2019.e24.

In 2016, the Surviving Sepsis Campaign and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) developed clinical practice guidelines for the management of pediatric septic shock. In 2017, the American College of Critical Care Medicine (ACCM) updated its recommendations for hemodynamic support of pediatric shock. Recognizing septic shock is critical, as well as an optimal, time-sensitive treatment. An adequate consultation with a pediatric specialist and/or a timely referral to a facility with a higher level of care are also critical for an appropriate outcome in the management of this condition. Here we analyze the bundles used in the management of these patients, which are essential to improve the quality of care.

Keywords : Patient care bundles; Septic shock; Pediatrics; Sepsis.
