In this podcast Dr Nick Brown, global heath editor, talks to Dr Jess Morgan from Calderdale Royal Hospital, West Yorkshire and Dr Colin Powell from the Noah's Ark Childrens Hospital for Wales about the recent Archimedes question in ADC about intravenous maintenance fluids for children. This question, although not a global issue, is still a problem which affects many hospital doctors and the Archimedes article looks into hospitalised children requiring intravenous maintenance fluids (population), do isotonic solutions (intervention) compared with hypotonic solutions (comparison) reduce the risk of hyponatraemia (outcome)?

Neonatal jaundice is predominantly a benign condition that affects 60%–80% of newborns worldwide but progresses to potentially harmful severe hyperbilirubinaemia in some. Despite the proven therapeutic benefits of phototherapy for preventing extreme hyperbilirubinaemia, acute bilirubin encephalopathy or kernicterus, several low-income and middle-income countries continue to report high rates of avoidable exchange transfusions, as well as bilirubin-induced mortality and neurodevelopmental disorders. A review recently published in ADC examines the contributory factors to the burden of severe hyperbilirubinaemia and kernicterus and provide strategies for improving care. ADC Global Health editor Nick Brown talks to co-author Tina Slusher, Department of Pediatrics, University of Minnesota & Hennepin County Medical Center, Minneapolis, to hear what they suggest.
