A landmark moment for paediatric sepsis research.

PASSPORT Clinical Lead A/Prof Elliot Long presented results from the PRoMPT BOLUS trial at the Pediatric Academic Societies Conference in Boston this weekend, with simultaneous publication in the New England Journal of Medicine. The largest pragmatic trial of fluid resuscitation in children with septic shock, enrolling more than 9,000 patients across five countries, the study delivered a definitive answer to one of the most debated questions in paediatric emergency medicine – and received a standing ovation from the plenary audience.
