SCCM Pod-522 PCCM: Early Adrenaline vs. Standard Fluid in Pediatric Septic Shock

SCCM Podcast

Host Elizabeth H. Mack, MD, MS, FCCM, is joined by Luregn J. Schlapbach, MD, PhD, FCICM, to discuss the Pediatric Critical Care Medicine article, "Resuscitation With Early Adrenaline Infusion for Children With Septic Shock: A Randomized Pilot Trial" (Harley A, et al. Pediatr Crit Care Med. 2024 Feb;25:106-117). The study found that a fluid-sparing algorithm for children presenting with septic shock using early adrenaline is feasible. Dr. Schlapbach is a professor and chief of intensive care and neonatology at the University Children's Hospital in Zurich, Switzerland.
