Archimedes May 2022: Micro Magic

This month we go all buggy, thinking about how we can use EU-level regulatory frameworks to help us act in our clinical lives (https://adc.bmj.com/content/107/5/507.2). We also address the persuasive power of an accelerated BCG reaction in children… fort noted by Koch of Koch’s Postulates in rodents (https://adc.bmj.com/content/107/5/507.1), and ask a partially useful question that might save many hours and many many stabs - are CVC concentrations of tobramycin good enough to judge how to dose in children? (https://adc.bmj.com/content/107/5/512).
Please do tell us what you think of the podcast or the section, and if you’re revisiting the Journey to the West in TV form, on any of the socials.

Archimedes April 2022: Quality babies

Croaking and wheezing and slightly exhausted… not the average neonatologist but Archimedes this month is brought to you from post-natal palaces and 'post-nasal drip'.
We start thinking about how best to communicate a post-natal diagnosis of Down syndrome(https://adc.bmj.com/content/107/4/409.1), which is prefaced by some thoughts on what it means to undertake a ‘good’ qualitative study(https://adc.bmj.com/content/107/4/409.2). We have more on this on our blog site, in this series: https://blogs.bmj.com/adc/category/qualitative/
We then dive down from the wards into the NICU where we wonder how to shift the clogged secretions of a grot-filled lung, and someone suggests DNAse, which sounds a lot like magic, but magic that can be evidence-based(https://adc.bmj.com/content/107/4/411).
When you’ve had a listen tell us what you think, and submit your own following the instructions on the website and you too could be hearing all about yourself croaked Archi or in active conversation too.

Archimedes March 2022: Tubes and technology

A bit like aircraft, intubating and extubating are the awkward and skill-requiring parts of a ventilator journey. Well, not so much the tube removal itself, but the choice of when to do it. And we’ve got a topic report which asks if the ubiquitous ultrasound could help us with that decision: (https://adc.bmj.com/content/107/3/303.1). As for popping a tube in, how do you know it’s in the right place? Slide that probe over - at least in neonates - and see if you can see the tip located properly (https://adc.bmj.com/content/107/3/305).
So while we’re thinking about tubes and ways of working, perhaps we need to consider just how do we test such ‘craft’ interventions? Well… have a listen and while the whole answer won’t be revealed … some starter thoughts might be (https://adc.bmj.com/content/107/3/303.2).
Tie down your garden furniture, hold onto your fence posts, and tell us what you think, and submit your own following the instructions on the website and you too could be hearing all about yourself spoken by Archi.
