Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sepsis in pediatrics refers to the occurrence of sepsis, a life-threatening condition triggered by the body's extreme response to infection, in pediatric patients. Sepsis can affect infants, children, and adolescents and is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in this population.
The Special Issue "Sepsis in Pediatrics: Current Concepts of Terminology and Management" aims to present a comprehensive overview of the latest research, clinical guidelines, and expert insights aiming toward improving the diagnosis and management of sepsis in pediatric patients. By addressing the unique challenges associated with pediatric sepsis and highlighting evidence-based strategies for optimizing care, this Special Issue aims to enhance outcomes and reduce the burden of sepsis-related morbidity and mortality in children. Furthermore, we would like to highlight the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to managing pediatric sepsis, emphasizing collaboration between pediatricians, intensivists, infectious disease specialists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. Our goal is to discuss strategies for optimizing care delivery, including the use of protocols and guidelines, as well as the integration of technological advances to enhance the early detection and monitoring of sepsis in children.
