Improvement of 1st-hour bundle compliance and sepsis mortality in pediatrics after the implementation of the surviving sepsis campaign guidelines.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To study the impact of the implementation of the Pediatric Surviving Sepsis Campaign protocol on early recognition of sepsis, 1-h treatment bundle and mortality.

Methods

Retrospective, single-center study, before and after the implementation of the sepsis protocol.

Outcomes

sepsis recognition, compliance with the 1-h bundle (fluid resuscitation, blood culture, antibiotics), time interval to fluid resuscitation and antibiotics administration, and mortality. Patients with febrile neutropenia were excluded. The comparisons between the periods were performed using non-parametric tests and odds ratios or relative risk were calculated.

Results

We studied 84 patients before and 103 after the protocol implementation. There was an increase in sepsis recogniti
