- Abstract
The objective of the "Surviving Sepsis Campaign International Guidelines for the Management of Septic Shock and Sepsis-associated Organ Dysfunction in Children" is to provide guidance for the care of infants, children, and adolescents with septic shock and other sepsis-associated organ dysfunction. Research focusing on children with septic shock and other sepsis-associated organ dysfunction was prioritized, although studies inclusive of more general pediatric populations (e.g., all PICU patients) were considered for some questions on a case-by-case basis. The consensus recommendations of the "Surviving Sepsis Campaign International Guidelines for the Management of Septic Shock and Sepsis-associated Organ Dysfunction in Children" are summarized in Table 1 of this executive summary. Although most aspects of care had relatively low quality of evidence resulting in the frequent issuance of weak recommendations, these guidelines regarding the management of children with septic shock and other sepsis-associated organ dysfunction should provide a foundation for consistent care to improve outcomes and inform future research.
