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.
