About This Event
Developed by the Society of Critical Care Medicine's Pediatric Sepsis Definition Taskforce, the International Consensus Criteria for Pediatric Sepsis and Septic Shock are a new way to define sepsis in children once it has occurred.
These criteria have implications for epidemiology, quality improvement, and research. Join us for a presentation and discussion with members of the taskforce, who also served as leads for the Improving Pediatric Sepsis Outcomes (IPSO) Collaborative.
View the follow-up discussion on the Sepsis Community of Practice website.
Learning objectives
- Explain the Phoenix criteria for pediatric sepsis and septic shock and identify opportunities to incorporate these criteria into pediatric sepsis work.
- Evaluate the differences between the Phoenix criteria and sepsis screening.
- Discuss the implications of Phoenix criteria for existing pediatric sepsis literature and current care recommendations provided by IPSO and other organizations.
