Pediatric Septic Shock

Septic shock in children is the prototype combination of hypovolemic, cardiogenic and distributive shock. Recently published American college of critical care medinie (ACCM) made recommendations for hemodynamic support of neonatal and pediatric patients with sepsis, Surviving sepsis campaign and its pediatric considerations and subsequent revision of definitions for pediatric sepsis.Sepsis is a problem that presents a management challenge to those who care for infants and children; however, early recognition and intervention clearly improves the outcome for infants and children with infections or intoxications that lead to sepsis.
