Adc Podcast

You wanted interviews, about how to get blood from the feet of neoates? You’ve come to the right spot; this month covers this issue http://adc.bmj.com/content/103/4/401 and also the thorny thing about which growth chart you use - the customised one the mum has been carrying throughout pregnancy or the one you just got from the stationary file in the office http://adc.bmj.com/content/103/4/399.1 ? We also talk how pathology might be worthwhile. And still no singing. Read the Archimedes for April 2018 here: http://adc.bmj.com/content/103/4#Archimedes

Professor of Neonatology Colm O'Donnell, University College Dublin, and Neonatologist Emily Kiernan, British Colombia Women's Centre, Vancouver, discuss a randomised trial on skin cleansing in preterm neonates, Clorhexidine vs Iodine, with Jonathan Davis, Associate Editor of ADC FN. Read the free paper “2% chlorhexidine–70% isopropyl alcohol versus 10% povidone–iodine for insertion site cleaning before central line insertion in preterm infants: a randomised trial” here: http://fn.bmj.com/content/103/2/F101.

This month has work from lower/middle-income countries offering to impact up care both within those resource settings, and the high-income countries that usually provide the bulk of Archi’s feeds. There are questions about the validity of 'PCV/3' as a haemoglobin estimate: adc.bmj.com/content/103/3/301 and uncertainty about if zinc should be given to children with diarrhoea on Salisbury Plain: adc.bmj.com/content/103/3/297.1 We also have the horror of spelling tests rearing their head. And no singing. More on the ADC’s February 2018 Archimedes here: http://adc.bmj.com/content/103/3/297.2

Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at University of Cambridge Gordon Smith discusses a leading article from the July Edition of the Archives of Disease in Childhood Fetal and Neonatal edition with Associate Editor Jonathan Davis. The article states that administration of betamethasone to women with threatened preterm delivery at 34–36 weeks of gestational age to reduce the risk of neonatal respiratory morbidity may cause long-term harm through effects on the infant’s brain. This podcast includes a postscript with a response from the authors of the paper discussed. Read the full paper here: http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/archdischild-2016-312333.

We're back! The ADC Archimedes podcast, home of the best evidence-paediatrics chat in Soundcloud has been reborn. This month, Bob Phillips, the Social Media and Archimedes Editor, talks runny poo and how to reduce it (see 'Probiotics in acute infectious diarrhoea: should we run with it?' here http://adc.bmj.com/content/102/8/782) and what to pre-med a prem in the own words of Tim van Hasselt, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, (read 'What is the best sedative to give as premedication for neonatal intubation?' here http://adc.bmj.com/content/102/8/780.1). There's also our usual scintillating rant on something evidencey (see http://adc.bmj.com/content/102/8/780.2). http://adc.bmj.com

Paediatric training and the practice of paediatrics is built on the bedrock of ensuring best possible health outcomes for all children, optimising opportunity for those without full health and contributing to a voice, in advocacy, for children. In the world’s high-income countries (HICs), child health outcomes are comparatively good, and the paediatric workforce well trained to manage the health issues of children. Paediatric training and continuing professional development is generally under the authority of paediatric societies or colleges. Such organisations are well funded and supported, have long traditions of curriculum and resource development with supervisors trained in postgraduate training and supervision. They have a history of matching training needs to the health needs of their children. Some attempt at supporting advocacy and a voice for children is made, and a sense that paediatricians do all they can for the underprivileged is instilled during training. Such approaches are right and proper, bu
