    About

    This topic brief discusses the importance of recognizing sepsis in pediatric patients. It is challenging due to varying vital sign ranges and limited protocols.

Increased awareness and early intervention can reduce morbidity and mortality rates among pediatric sepsis patients, who often have underlying comorbidities. This document provides guidelines to assist with recognition and treatment.
