Summary
This study aims to see if a program that includes guidelines, feedback, and education can reduce the use of vancomycin (a strong antibiotic) in children with suspected sepsis in intensive care units. About 52,500 children will be involved across five hospitals. The goal is to lower the risk of side effects like kidney damage while still effectively treating infections.
