Pediatric Sepsis

We are in the process of developing our facility defined clinical indicators for Pediatric Sepsis/Severe Sepsis/Septic Shock.  Would anyone be willing to share what they are currently using or have developed?  I will also share our final results as well.  Thanks in advance.   dwilk@pennstatehealth.psu.edu

Thanks for posting on here Deanne :-)

We don’t have any "formal" written criteria but we use the Pediatric Sepsis Consensus Conference info from 2005…it defines SIRS criteria by age and hypotension/shock.

Sorry for such a short answer but it’s Monday, lol! If I think of anything else I will post. Hopefully we can have a good discussion on here! Thanks, Jeff

Same as what Jeff said above~ we use the same criteria also.

No facility defined or formal written criteria here either.

We also use the International Pediatric Sepsis Consensus criteria as referenced above for children ages 17 years and younger. We use Sepsis 3 criteria for patients 18 and over.

No separate facility defined criteria at our organization.

another alternative if you don't find what you are looking for would be to contact a few Children's hospitals. we have a fantastic one here in Atlanta, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. they may be willing to share.

I am new to ACDIS.  I saw this slide presentation and webinar about Sepsis in children and just want to share with you all.
