The 2017 American College of Critical Care Medicine recommends a first-hour resuscitation and stabilization bundle for the treatment of pediatric severe sepsis or septic shock. Priorities of care include rapid establishment of vascular access, initiation of fluid resuscitation within 30 minutes, and initiation of empiric antimicrobial therapy within 60 minutes of severe sepsis recognition. The utilization of a protocolized treatment in the Pediatric Emergency Department (ED) is associated with improved timeliness of care and reduced morbidity related to organ dysfunction. The purpose of this evidence-based practice (EBP) project is to improve timeliness of antibiotic administration and intravenous fluid bolus administration for children presenting to the ED with severe sepsis or septic shock through the implementation of a cognitive aid or checklist.
