Back to the cut and thrust of clinical neonatology for the September 2023 Archimedes, where we visit the challenge of sugar-free babies again. How do you move forward with uncertainty about the adverse effects of medicines but significant problems with the adverse effects of disease processes?

Neonates are a breadth of … well… actually breathing is one of the big issues they have. Adding a squirt of finely curated surfactant we know can help them out, and LISA (less invasive surfactant administration) is probably the best at the job. But it’s pretty stressful having things splashed into your lungs, so should we be giving premedication?

51. Archimedes Jan 2022: Rolling cells and curving spines

We’re never going to be satisfied with the search of direct randomised evidence in paediatrics - unless we’re working in the hallowed hills of 'paed oncology' of course - so how should we think about the weight of evidence to change things?There’s a classic lack of direct, trial data when it comes to considering when to give vaccines after TNF-alfa treatments in pregnancy [https://adc.bmj.com/content/107/1/93.1] but what is out there can be digested and considered and given as a pithy conclusion

We visit the land of diagnostics in our thinking again this month, deciding when a test can really help us by pressing on to make, or exclude, a diagnosis, and when it simply nudges us a bit one way or another (YOU’LL NEED TO FIND LINK - STARTS There’s something unnerving about getting a test result.

Could you treat a wee one with oral rather than IV antibiotics?

111. When neonates and the unspoken collide. Archimedes February 2020

The delight we all have in neonates spills over this issue, where we tackle the thorny issues of QTc prolongation with domperidone (https://adc.bmj.com/content/105/2/202) and how best to manage the concerns of a midwife over an raised cord blood lactate (https://adc.bmj.com/content/105/2/200.1). Sadly, how to remember how to calculate QTc or work in a constructive interprofessional manner aren’t all cleared up.We also consider what isn’t being said when people write (https://adc.bmj.com/content

Later than usual, this is the podcast about the Archimedes of the December 2019 issue.Children seem to throw up because they are poorly, or because they are excited, or because they are hot, or because they had too many fizzy sweeties, or because they know you’ve just had the car cleaned. So how do we manage a child who’s had a little head bump and has thrown up once?

This month brings big decisions and how to make them in our critical appraisal note (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/11/1114.2) and this flows seamlessly into the questions too... almost like there’s some planning involved. We’re asking if prenatal echo can tell us who will need emergency atrial septostomies to make birth as safe to home as close to home a reality (https://adc.bmj.com/content/104/11/1114.1.abstract), and if apparently asymptomatic babies and children with malrotation really need

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).
