Abstract
Septic shock in children still constitutes a
clinical challenge for healthcare providers, both in the
emergency department and the intensive care unit.
Early diagnosis, allowing rapid therapeutic
intervention, is essential in improving the outcome of
these patients (Biban, et al ٢٠١٢)
Consistent successful treatment of septic shock
can not begin in the ICU for patients who present to
the emergency department in shock; it must begin at
the time of triage in the emergency department. Early
recognition and treatment of septic shock benefits all
patients, because the effort to recognize early shock
leads to a more meticulous patient assessment from
the initial encounter. We developed a septic shock
protocol and care guideline that led to improved
compliance in delivery of rapid, aggressive fluid
resuscitation, early antibiotic and oxygen
administration, and decreased hospital length of stay
