About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Paediatric Sepsis Screening in the Emergency Department" by Dr Neil Thompson.

This medical PowerPoint presentation talks about Pediatric sepsis screening in the emergency department (ED), a crucial component of early detection and management of this potentially life-threatening condition in children. Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response to an infection, and it can lead to septic shock, organ failure, and even death if not treated promptly.

There are various tools and guidelines available for pediatric sepsis screening in the ED. The Pediatric Early Warning Score (PEWS) is a scoring system that uses vital signs, behavior, and other clinical indicators to identify children at risk for clinical deterioration, including sepsis. The Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) is another tool that has been adapted for use in pediatric patients.

In addition to these screening tools, there are also clinical practice guidelines that provide guidance on the management of sepsis in pediatric patients. The Surviving Sepsis Campaign, for example, provides evidence-based guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis in children, including recommendations for fluid resuscitation, antibiotic therapy, and other supportive measures.

It is important for healthcare providers in the ED to be trained in the recognition and management of pediatric sepsis, as early identification and prompt treatment can significantly improve outcomes. This includes not only screening and diagnosis but also appropriate communication and coordination with other healthcare providers involved in the childs care.

NICE guidance 15 studies included – all low quality There is a trend in the evidence that if any of the following is a cause for concern: elevated temperature, heart rate or respiratory rate; hypothermia; hypotension; altered mental state; low oxygen saturation; low urine output.
Slide 25-

NICE guidance The GDG concurred that none of the signs and symptoms alone is sufficient to make a diagnosis of sepsis, or to predict patient outcome. While the available evidence was of very low quality the GDG also recognised that sepsis can be overwhelming and of rapid onset with few early clinical signs.

Lessons learned It’s still difficult! Using a paper form in a computerised process It distorts the flow of the department Need to have buy-in of all staff

Going forward How to link to PEWS and electronic systems How to measure success How to link to other areas – wards / theatres / primary care? Research ongoing Delphi process Biomarkers Outcome measures

Summary Paediatric sepsis is rare but devastating Paediatric sepsis is difficult to spot Tools for screening are imperfect There is much progress to be made
