About

This podcast introduces the new Phoenix Pediatric Sepsis Criteria. It features an interview with Luregn Schlapbach, Scott Watson, Claudio de Oliveira, Halden Scott, and Tellen Bennett. It discusses how experts worldwide developed these criteria to better identify and treat sepsis in children. The task force aimed for a simple, globally applicable system using data from various countries and settings. The criteria focus on four organ systems: cardiovascular, respiratory, neurologic, and coagulation. While helpful for identifying severe cases of sepsis, they are not meant to guide bedside treatment directly but can be used in research and quality improvement efforts across different healthcare environments.
