Introduction to Childhood Sepsis
The first, most popularly requested topic for a KidConfident poster, was Childhood Sepsis. It's too big for a single poster, so welcome to the first of a poster mini-series covering childhood sepsis.
A gentle introduction to the subject, looking at why it is important, some concerning features to look out for, and what the guidelines and evidence suggest our pre-hospital management priorities should be.
The interactive part of the poster links to a set of clinical tools & guidelines, relevant to pre-hospital paramedic practice.
These have been collated from The UK Sepsis Trust and NICE , by KidConfident, just for you.
Finally, a KidConfident Paediatric Sepsis Screening Tool, adapted from an original PIER Network/Thames Paediatric Critical Network tool, so that it can be used by pre-hospital teams to help with some of the decision making. Is it time to introduce the PARAMEDICS SEPSIS 6?
