Sepsis: Pediatric First Response

In the United States, more than 75,000 children develop sepsis each year. Sepsis accounts for 100,000 pediatric emergency department visits each year, with nearly 20% of children treated for septic shock arriving in the emergency department via ambulance.

First responders are on the frontlines of sepsis recognition and early treatment and need to know the signs and symptoms of sepsis and how to initiate treatment in pediatric patients.

Share this video with your colleagues, patients, and loved ones to ensure they know the signs and symptoms of pediatric sepsis. This video includes a reenactment of an EMS response to a pediatric sepsis case and expert commentary on sepsis in pediatric patients.

I had sepsis in 2013, on a ventilator for 33 days. Blood clot to my large intestine cause gangrene. Every system failed. Heart failure, right lung collapsed, Renal failure. I had emergency surgery to remove all but 18 inches of large intestine, colostomy. Had seizure and stroke affected right side and my speech.
I was not expected to survive, but with prayers and God I did. I had renal dialysis. Comprehensive rehabilitation. I learned how to walk and talk again. I had home health RN, PT, and ST. 8 months later I had the colostomy reversed. My kidneys are at 50%. I am a million dollar miracle. I had a team of very specialize doctors who took Care of me. Some I had worked with for years as and RN and my primary doctor who I had worked on the floor with and he had been my doctor for 20 years.
Thank God for allowing people to have the intelligence to become doctors and specialize in certain fields.

For that nurse for recognizing the signs of sepsis and acting quickly that day. WAY TO GO because she might have saved that boy’s life.

The school never called me at work"
Nor did his father tell me he had complained of feeling sick"
Untell I picked him up after school

When I had sepsis the drs in the hospital told me had I gone in an hour later I would have either been on full life support or passed away. Sepsis landed me in the icu for 4 days

He went through so much and I wasn't aware.

Smart school nurse! She acted on her gut feeling.

I sometimes fainted even after the iron infusion for 3 hours, but I felt okay, but then I fainted again after walking and then laid down on the floor while fainting, so the doctors and nurses helped me to get up and sit on the wheelchair and do the iron infusion for 30 minutes. Even though I fainted after the iron infusion, I still had a great and wonderful time with my mom and the doctors and nurses!!

My school nurse would have given you an ice pack and pepper mint and told you to go back to class lol 😂

Just a little over 2 weeks we loss my brother in law to it. He had food poisoning. No one knew he had a serious liver problem. While being treated his systems were shutting down from the poisoning. Then he was turning around when I contracted sepsis and that was it. It was just his time I guess.
My mom had sepsis as well as my sister 2 yrs later. On the tail now him. Makes me wonder doctors ability to spot it. But great presentation. Informative and educated me more.

[jbuccilli]

excellent, excellent, excellent presentation!

My 10 year old daughter developed sepsis the day after she had her tonsils and adenoids out October 6, 2023 she was 9. Brought her to my rural MN small town ER and they did abdomen X-rays for no reason and sent us home and by the grace of God I knew she was severely ill so drove nearly an hour away to a big bigger towns hospital and they almost sent us home as well but her health declined so quick right beforehand and ended up needing to be transported via ambulance to a bigger city’s hospital pediatric intensive care unit for a week and two days after getting home from that, she had her incisions in her throat hemorrhaging so sent back to that big hospital PICU for several more days. When we got home from the 2nd hospitalization we came home to dozens of handmade cards in my mailbox from all of her 4th grade classmates. It was absolutely heartwarming. I was afraid I was going to lose her.

Sepsis almost killed me not once but twice
