    Read the paper 'Randomised cross-over study of automated oxygen control for preterm infants receiving nasal high flow': https://fn.bmj.com/content/104/4/F366.
    Read the editorial 'Automated oxygen control in the preterm infant: automation yes, but we need intelligence': https://fn.bmj.com/content/104/4/F346

  • Neonates aren’t little children, and children are sometimes little adults. Archimedes October 2019
    Does bronchiectasis trouble you at night? Or during the day? Or the weekends? Would you like to brush up on the best evidence to treat and prevent exacerbations? Pop onto this podcast or read more here https://adc.bmj.com/content/early/2019/07/20/archdischild-2019-317562
    You’ll I’m sure be wondering about how much you can extrapolate from the adult data into the kids, and this short appraisal note on our blog might help you https://blogs.bmj.com/adc/2019/08/22/neonates-are-not-tiny-children/
    Bearing that in mind, the use of coffee to keep bronchi-babes out of the ICU will be of great interest to the student of EBM. So … you can swig in the summary we have here on how good it seems to be: https://adc.bmj.com/content/early/2019/07/20/archdischild-2019-317668

  • Congruence, cold sores and complicated little bugs. Archimedes September 2019
    We have all manner of interesting stuff this month - if you want to keep troublesome cold sores away you can read the extra stuff here http://doi.org/10.1136/archdischild-2019-317249 after listening to our summary - if you want to help crying colic-y babies with probiotics you may want to brush up here http://doi.org/10.1136/archdischild-2019-317368
    You may also want to write your own Archi - which is brilliant! Just make sure you know how you’re incorporating evidence, expert experience and expert opinion though - again you can listen or read about it here https://doi.org/10.1136/archdischild-2019-317948

  • Verdigris and variants on normal. Archimedes August 2019
    Last month we asked about newborn baby checks being enhanced with pulse oximetry - this month we’re asking “What should you do with a sacral dimple?” (The answer is not “Throw it in the brig until it’s sober”). The answer - in terms of ultrasounding or not - can be found here (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/8/816.1).
    You might also be wondering about the mineralisation of your jejunally fed kids too… I know I’ve spent many minutes wondering about how to spell that .. and if copper really is a trace element of importance beyond it’s pretty rusting. This knowledge thirst too can be slaked - here (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/8/817)
    And if that’s not enough, we chat about the sometimes tricky issue of balancing the benefits against the harms of an intervention (or test, or measurement), which involves maths, but only those we teach to primary school children (https://adc.bmj.com/node/208810)
    If you do want to know other things, and we’ve not covered them, why just write your own Archi and submit it to us?

  • Organ Donation, that difficult conversation
    How do we approach parents about organ donation?
    In the second episode of the ADC Spotlight, Rachel Agbeko invites an intensivist, Dr Susan Bratton, (Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA) and a psychologist, Dr Anne-Sophie Darlington (School of Health Sciences, University of Southampton, UK) to talk about end of life care for children and organ donation.
    They are the authors of two papers available for free for a month on the ADC website:
    - Parents’ experiences of requests for organ and tissue donation: The value of asking: https://adc.bmj.com/content/early/2019/05/10/archdischild-2018-316382
    - Bereaved ICU Parental End of Life Care Goals: Including Organ Donation Regardless of Eligibility: https://adc.bmj.com/content/early/2019/05/25/archdischild-2019-317214.

  • Babies! Dusky ones and chilly ones and Port Vale too. Archimedes July 2019
    All over the world, tonight, you can hear the sound of babies being examined for covert abnormalities. One of those tests would be the click-hip-thing, one pulse oximetry. Can we make pulse oximetry better though - well here’s an Archi that asks just that (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/5/504). More babies could be found in those very special fish tanks with portholes - popping them out of those and into cots would be nicer for the families but maybe harder for the smallest children to grow and stay stable in temperature. The question you’re asking is clearly ‘but is 1.6kg big enough?’ … (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/7/707.1)
    To start with we question the value of knowing things (https://blogs.bmj.com/adc/2019/04/25/look-away-now-if-you-dont-want-to-know-the-results/) but if you do want to know things, and we’ve not covered them, why not have a crack at your own Archi and submit it to us?
