Court’s in Session: Paediatric Sepsis

Sepsis continues to be a major cause of death world-wide, with early recognition and treatment crucial to help reduce mortality rates. Early recognition remains challenging and can be particularly difficult to detect early in children and infants as they tend to deteriorate rapidly but comparatively late in the course of their illness. Repeat presentations and parental concerns are red flags for sepsis. Through the review of related coronial cases, this webinar will explore how red flags can be missed and provide you with some clinical tips to help recognise and treat paediatric patients with sepsis.

Participation in this webinar gives you access to the latest Sepsis Guidelines, and access to clinical experts. Interactive polls during the session allow you to test your knowledge and provide you with an opportunity to see how you would react if presented with a similar case.

You should attend this webinar if you are interested in knowing more about how to recognise and manage a paediatric patient with sepsis or have an interest in how investigations and coronial reports can help us learn to avoid repeating medical errors.
