This session will highlight evidence-based early treatment strategies, including rapid weight-based fluid resuscitation, timely antibiotic administration, and the use of protocol-driven sepsis bundles, to improve outcomes. The presenter will share her clinical expertise and real-world emergency department experience to strengthen early recognition, promote team communication, and improve pediatric sepsis outcomes through rapid, coordinated care.
