Severe acquired subglottic stenosis is a serious consequence of intubation for mechanical ventilation in neonatal intensive care unit graduates, especially in preterm infants, concludes a case-control study discussed in this podcast. The paper adds that this serious complication may be prevented by minimising trauma during intubations, avoiding recurrent extubation/reintubations and using appropriate sized endotracheal tubes.

After giving you all the heads-up on the process of doing an Archimedes last month, this month we address ways of improving breathing.
First, in the emergency department - we’re asking should you use pred or dex in wheeze (https://adc.bmj.com/content/103/7/707.1) and then in the neonatal intensive care unit where we’re questioning what sort of device to use to puff pressure into those teeny tiny noses? (https://adc.bmj.com/content/103/7/709).
We’ve got a spot of philosophy too.

The ambition to halve the number of deaths and brain injuries related to births by 2030 was announced by the Department of Health in England, in 2015. The study discussed in this podcast presents a pragmatic case definition and annual incidence rates from data held in the National Neonatal Research Database (NNRD). Chris Gale (Section of Neonatal Medicine, Imperial College London, UK), tells ADC Fetal & Neonatal Associate Editor Jonathan Davis how his team is working with the NHS on the ambition of making England "the safest place in the world to have a baby".

Listen up folks! In the spirit of carefree nuns and clean mountain air, Archimedes has had a burst of newness. This month, we talk to Alisha Burnham, published Archi Author, about the process of doing an Archimedes and how you too can get started.

Considering the large increase in the number of children and adolescents who question conventional gender expectations and seek to develop a body that is congruent with their gender feelings, how can paediatricians best respond?
Dysphoria v. dysmorphia; or diagnosis v. recognition are some of the concepts and distinctions you’ll hear about in this podcast, which is an absorbing conversation between the ADC’s Editor-in-Chief Nick Brown and Gary Butler, Professor at the University College London Hospital NHS Trust, UK.
