title: [Treatment of septic shock in pediatrics].
abstract: A significant improvement has been noticed over the last 20 years in children in whom shock syndrome has developed. This has been attained through the application of technological advances in respiratory, cardiovascular, renal, nutritional support and improved antibacterial and antifungal therapy, but mostly through a better understanding of the physiology of shock. Newer concepts of the pathophysiology of sepsis and septic shock are presented, with clinical definitions referring to the pediatric patient. Innovative therapeutic modalities designed to modulate the systemic inflammatory response triggered by bacterial infection are discussed.
