RESUMEN
A pesar de las numerosas investigaciones realizadas en torno a la sepsis, la morbilidad y mortalidad elevadas por su causa revelan un insuficiente conocimiento al respecto, que impide en muchos casos identificar oportunamente sus manifestaciones clínicas y pone en riesgo la supervivencia de los niños hospitalizados; razón por la cual se impone aumentar y actualizar el volumen de información que posee el personal de la salud encargado de atender a la población infantil ingresada en instituciones sanitarias pediátricas. Para ello se revisaron los resultados de discusiones médicas en conferencias de consensos internacionales, donde se debatió acerca de importantes aspectos epidemiológicos, fisiopatológicos y clínicos relacionados con el asunto, siempre con el propósito de disminuir la incidencia de ese factor de riesgo.
ABSTRACT
Despite the numerous researches on sepsis, the high morbidity and mortality because of it reveal a lack of knowledge about it, which prevents in many cases timely identification of its clinical manifestations and threatens the survival of hospitalized children; reason why it should be increased and updated the volume of information that the people in charge of health care for children admitted to pediatric health institutions have. With this purpose the results of medical discussions on international consensus conferences were reviewed, where important epidemiological, pathophysiological and clinical aspects related to the subject were discussed, always with the aim of reducing the incidence of this risk factor.
