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.
October’s list features answers to intriguing questions such as: ‘Does appendicitis run in families?’, ‘Is VR a good way to distract children from painful procedures?’, ‘Do antibiotics really work in appendicitis?’ and ‘Should I resuscitate preterms using 21% or 100% O2?’
You will find the list is broken down into four sections:
