Objetivo: mapear as práticas de enfermagem em crianças com sepse nos serviços de urgência e emergência. Métodos: revisão de escopo realizada nas bases: MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, SCOPUS, Web of Science, LILACS, SciELO, Cochrane e literatura cinzenta: Google Scholar, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações e Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações. Incluíram-se publicações de 2019 a 2025, selecionadas por dois revisores. Resultados: dos 6.155 estudos identificados, 11 compuseram a amostra. Predominaram produções tecnológicas e estudos transversais (n=3; 27%), publicados em 2019 (n=3; 27%). Nos serviços de urgência e emergência, as práticas de enfermagem incluíram assistência direta (n=3; 27%), com reconhecimento precoce da deterioração clínica, monitorização, acesso vascular e administração de antimicrobianos e fluidos; educação profissional (n=4; 36%), com realidade virtual, simulação e tecnologias educacionais; e gerenciamento (n=4; 36%), com ferramentas de triagem, sistemas de alerta e protocolos assistenciais. Conclusão: as evidências indicam que as práticas de enfermagem se concentram na vigilância, tratamento oportuno, capacitação profissional e gerenciamento do cuidado à criança com sepse nos serviços de urgência e emergência. Contribuições para a prática: os achados podem subsidiar a capacitação das equipes e a implementação de protocolos para reconhecimento e manejo da sepse pediátrica nesses serviços.
