Pediatric sepsis: actions to decrease sepsis in children.
The European Society of Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care is the physicians' and nurses' annual meeting that was held in Verona, Italy from 14 to 17 June 2009, and approximately 1000 participants from around the world (84 countries) attended. The Congress gave an opportunity to experts to discuss ongoing research and exchange opinions on the future development of studies to identify optimal supportive, preventive and therapeutic strategies for sepsis. A wide range of topics were discussed and several lectures, oral presentations and posters were dedicated to sepsis and its treatment. High scientific-level topics were presented, and stimulated much interest and discussion.
