Abstract
Mortality from paediatric sepsis and multiple organ failure has fallen over the last half century, but both remain significant causes of death and morbidity among children and infants in the intensive care unit. This article provides a basic guide for front-line clinicians involved in paediatric resuscitation, addressing nomenclature, epidemiology and suggestions for early treatment.
