Can’t get enough of Bubble Wrap? The Bubble Wrap Plus is a mid-monthly paediatric journal club reading list from Anke Raaijmakers working with Professor Jaan Toelen & his team of the University Hospitals in Leuven. This comprehensive list is developed from 34 journals, including major and subspecialty paediatric journals. We suggest this list can help you discover relevant or interesting articles for your local journal club or simply help you to keep an finger on the pulse of paediatric research.
This is another bumper edition Bubble Wrap Plus covering articles for both August and September.
August’s list covers thoughtful questions such as ‘Should we aim for influenza prevention in asthmatic children?’, ‘Do we prescribe too many opioids (for too long)?’ and ‘What is the best method to resuscitate infants (performed by lay people)?’’
September’s papers provides answers to intriguing questions such as ‘What is the best method to evaluate heart rate in the delivery room: auscultation, ECG or oximetry?’, ‘Does hypertonic saline help in the treatment of bronchiolitis?’ and ‘What is the value of cardiac screening in adolescent soccer players?’.
You will find the lists are broken down into four sections:
