š¢ The 5-Minute Rule: See It, Say It, Start It
When you suspect pediatric sepsis:
1ļøā£ SEE IT ā Complete TAPS, identify shock phenotype
2ļøā£ SAY IT ā Escalate with specific findings (use SBAR)
3ļøā£ START IT ā IV access, labs (lactate, cultures), prepare antibiotics
ā±ļø Antibiotics within 1 hour for septic shock
Each hour of delay increases mortality.
