PY - 2018 T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 23e AB - Definitions of sepsis over the last 2 decades have changed multiple times as they relate to adult critical care. The definition of sepsis and sepsis syndromes in pediatric patients has been less well defined. The most recent published consensus definitions of sepsis in pediatric patients were published in 2005. These definitions were modeled after the adult definition and consensus guidelines published first in 1991 and then revised in 2001, 2008, 2012, and, most recently, 2016. The biggest change in adult consensus definitions occurred in the 2016 publication, which discarded systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and severe sepsis; however, pediatric definitions continue to use these terms.
