Abstract

Introduction: septic shock is a common cause of death in children worldwide, it is the first cause of admission to the units of non-coronary intensive care and it is an emerging disease. Objective: to describe the results of therapy with fluid in patients with septic shock at “José Luis Miranda” Hospital in one year of study. Method: a descriptive, longitudinal, prospective study between January and December 2012 with patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital was realized. Data were recorded in the statistical professional program SPSS version 15.0, the information was showed in tables and graphs and inferential statistics tests were applied. Results: the most affected age group was that of one month to one year, of male sex; severe acute respiratory infections were the most frequent etiologies; the administration of intravenous fluids contributed to the recovery of clinical parameters related to perfusion at six hours; with the administration of 60ml/kg of intravenous fluids there was a recovery of blood pressure in most children. Conclusions: aggressive and early administration of intravenous fluids contributes to the recovery of clinical parameters related to perfusion at six hours and reducing mortality in children with septic shock.
