But I can’t cannulate them again! - Archimedes August 2024

Archives of Disease in Childhood's Archimedes section editor, Dr Bob Phillips (York District Hospital, UK) brings you the monthly episode about evidence-based medicine for paediatricians: 

We’ve all been in this situation (apart from perhaps some intensivists), any of us in the “I don’t want to cannulate them again!” park when dealing with little folks who probably need antibiotics, but do they really need IV? And this tension is greater when it’s a neonate, or an immunocompromised kiddo. We’ve got some good news in this pod, about the babies at least, and you can read more here https://adc.bmj.com/content/109/8/681.1 

You can also find out how the word estimand isn’t a typo and why PICO+ rules - https://adc.bmj.com/node/230129 

We would love for you to be involved in Archi [adc.bmj.com/pages/authors/#archimedes]. Just ask the questions that your patients are offering you - and tell us how you’re finding the podcast offerings.
