Summary

The aim of the study is to determine the frequency of sub-optimal care in the initial care (before arrival at the intensive care unit) of children from "West France regions" suffering of severe bacterial infections.The characteristic "optimal or not" of the initial medical care will be determined by 2 independent experts, blinded from each other and blinded from the issue of the care. In case of a discordance between the two experts, a third expert will be demanded. Three possibilities of conclusion will be proposed to the experts: "sure sub-optimal medical care", "possible suboptimal care" and "optimal care".

Conditions

• Bacterial Infection

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
