Abstract

Pediatric sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with outcomes dependent on timely recognition and rigorous management. As clinical management of pediatric sepsis depends on early recognition and initial therapeutic steps, targeted educational materials for healthcare workers in these early phases of care are warranted. Findings of this review highlight and compare the role of traditional educational methods (e.g., lectures) to alternative teaching methods (e.g., use of virtual reality) in educating healthcare workers about pediatric sepsis. Overall, there is a gradual shift from traditional, teacher-centered, transmissive teaching methods to more collaborative, reflective, and learner-centered approaches. These pedagogical approaches, despite some potential limitations, offer opportunities to use technological enhancements and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance teaching and learning across various methods.
