Pediatric Sepsis Protocols

Pediatric sepsis protocols are systematic procedures used by healthcare providers to quickly identify and treat severe infections in children. Sepsis occurs when an infection triggers a widespread, harmful response in the body, which can lead to organ failure. The protocols emphasize early recognition of symptoms, prompt administration of antibiotics, and supportive care like fluids and oxygen. They aim to stabilize the child's condition rapidly, prevent complications, and improve survival rates. These guidelines ensure consistent, evidence-based care across hospitals, helping clinicians act swiftly and effectively to save young lives affected by sepsis.
