Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pediatric septic shock remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality, and hemodynamic instability and multiple organ failure can rapidly complicate the clinical course of critically ill children, so alertness and prompt interventions on behalf of healthcare providers may prove to be life-saving. Hemodynamic monitoring and objective resuscitation goals are currently the guide for intensivists, since unstable hemodynamics and cardiovascular dysfunction seem to determine outcomes in sepsis.
The aim of this Special Issue is to gather and share recent knowledge on the diagnosis, management, and prognosis of pediatric septic shock.
Manuscripts addressing diagnostic and prognostic tools for sepsis, as well as treatment approaches for managing these challenging situations, are particularly welcome. We also welcome manuscripts of all types, including reviews or original articles, that focus on novel approaches to pediatric septic shock. Contributions from basic science research are also encouraged, since addressing genetic alterations in animal models or in human studies might lead us to specific genetic signatures, defining the clinical course and treatment responses of pediatric septic shock patients.
We eagerly anticipate receiving your submissions and sharing them with our scientific community.
