Key result
Autonomic nervous system dysfunction is prevalent in pediatric sepsis and its measurement, particularly through heart rate variability, may serve as an early marker of organ dysfunction and mortality.
Understanding and monitoring autonomic nervous system dysfunction in pediatric sepsis may offer valuable diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic insights.

Badke et al. (2018) conducted a review in Pediatric Sepsis. Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction was evaluated. Autonomic nervous system dysfunction is prevalent in pediatric sepsis and its measurement, particularly through heart rate variability, may serve as an early marker of organ dysfunction and mortality.
