Sepsis in pediatric cardiac intensive care.
The authors reviewed risk factors for developing sepsis; the role of biomarkers; and the pathophysiology and management of severe sepsis and septic shock. They concluded that while scientific advances in the diagnosis and clinical staging of sepsis offer tremendous promise for the future, it is also evident that sepsis mortality has not improved enough, even with progress in our understanding of the molecular pathophysiology of sepsis.

Development and implementation of sepsis alert systems.
Development and implementation of sepsis alert systems is challenging, particularly outside the monitored intensive care unit (ICU) setting. Current evidence does not support routine use of sepsis alert systems in clinical practice. Continuous improvement in the afferent and efferent aspects will help translate theoretic advantages into measurable patient benefit.
