What has changed in the updated 2026 Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) guidelines for children? In this episode of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Podcast, host Elizabeth H. Mack, MD, MS, FCCM, speaks with pediatric SSC guideline cochairs Scott L. Weiss, MD, MSCE, FCCM, and Pierre Tissieres, MD, DSc, about the latest guideline recommendations for the care of children with sepsis and septic shock. The updated guidelines emphasize the early identification of sepsis, an evolution to a more targeted way of treatment, and a more practical approach to guideline implementation. Other aspects of the previous guidelines, such as lactate measurements, continuous reassessment, and the role of point-of-care monitoring, were reinforced in the 2026 guidelines. The guidelines, “Surviving Sepsis Campaign International Guidelines for the Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock in Children 2026,” were released in the April issue of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine. Key updates and new areas of emphasis include:   A more nuanced approach to sepsis screening and early recognition  New guidance on supplemental oxygen, including limiting hyperoxia and using more conservative oxygenation targets in children with septic shock  New patient, intervention, comparison, outcome questions related to immune dysregulation, highlighting an important area for future research  New attention to post-sepsis morbidity  Greater emphasis on long-term follow-up and risk assessment for children who survive sepsis Scott L. Weiss, MD, MSCE, FCCM, is division chief of critical care and vice-chair of research at Nemours Children's Hospital (DuPont)-Delaware and professor of pediatrics and pathology and genomic medicine at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Pierre Tissieres, MD, DSc, is a professor of pediatrics and head of Pediatric ICU and Neonatal Medicine at Paris South University Hospitals in Paris, France.

Dr. Daniel Monti is the founding chair of the first integrative medicine department at an American medical university.Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, integrative medicine takes a holistic approach to health, combining conventional Western medicine with mind-body therapies, nutritional medicine, and traditional practices such as acupuncture and herbal medicine.“Integrative medicine,” Monti told me, “has become a subspecialty of medicine with its own board certification. ... To become an integrative medicine doctor, you have to first do your residency in something like internal medicine, neurology, OBGYN, and then do a fellowship in integrative medicine.”Monti, who holds board certifications in both psychiatry/neurology and holistic/integrative medicine, said that integrative physicians “take a deep dive into whole-person health and understanding who the person is.” They look, for example, at genomics, the patient's microbiome, and maximal oxygen consumption.A powerful technique Monti studied in depth is the neuro-emotional technique (NET), developed in the 1980s. It's a mind-body therapy designed to release emotional stress from within the body. And through advanced brain scans, they can see how the brain changes after applying the technique to alleviate distress.NET merges principles from conventional medicine with traditional Chinese medicine and psychology, he says. The goal is to “get at what is underneath the issue that's bothering the person. ... Most of the time I'm experiencing a block in my life in some way. And then we have to kind of figure out what the life experiences were that are contributing to that present-day block.”During the interview, Monti used me as a test subject to demonstrate the integrative medicine technique.We also discuss additional integrative medicine therapies, such as vitamin infusions and stress-reduction treatments. We also dive into a recent study into a powerful antioxidant's power to benefit Parkinson's patients.Monti is the founder and CEO of the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health and chair of the Integrative Medicine and Nutritional Sciences at Sidney Kimmel Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University. He's the co-author of “Brain Weaver” and “Tapestry of Health.”He's also the host of “House Call with Dr. Dan Monti.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

We dissect the hidden truths of orthopedic practice, from team building to practice management, physician burnout, and more. We explore insights with Dr. Atanda about the skills that aren't taught in medical school but are crucial for success. Alfred Atanda Jr., MD, is the director of the Sports Medicine Program, and a pediatric orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist. He serves as assistant professor of orthopedic surgery and pediatrics at Sidney Kimmel Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University.  Dr. Atanda is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, completed an internship and orthopedic surgery residency at the University of Chicago Medical Center, and fellowships in pediatric orthopedic surgery at Nemours Children's and in sports medicine at the Rothman Institute at Thomas Jefferson University.  He performs arthroscopic surgery of the knee, elbow, ankle and shoulder, as well as general orthopedic and trauma surgical procedures. His research interests are in upper extremity overuse injury prevention and general orthopedic trauma. Recently, he has developed an interest in technology and digital health innovation and routinely uses telemedicine in his sports medicine practice. He is working with several stakeholders in the organization to re-imagine the process by which pediatric orthopedic patients are triaged, navigated, evaluated and treated during the continuum of their health care experience.
