Methods: A prospective clinical trial was conducted from January 2016 to
December 2016 in the paediatric critical care unit of the Department of
Paediatrics at Nootan Medical College and Research Centre in Gujarat, India.
The hospital's ethical review board granted approval for the trial to begin.

Results: Analyzed were 40 children who were diagnosed with sepsis/septic shock
and were admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit. Infants exhibiting an
alternative form of shock or falling into a more severe group were excluded
from the study. Children were classified based on their shock index at 0, 1, 2,
4, and 6 hours following admission.

Conclusion: Prior to admission Further research is required to investigate the
correlation between suicidal ideation (SI) in the ambulance on the way to the
emergency room (ER), SI as an indicator of treatment response, and the
association between SI and organ dysfunction. The aim is to establish more
precise and accurate threshold values that are both sensitive and specific.
