Pride in healthcare
We're in pride month, and this year the celebration of LGBT+ people seems to be increasingly contentious. Healthcare's treatment of queer people has improved hugely since the days when being gay was considered a mental disorder, and would end a doctor's career - but that doesn't mean that everything is equal.
In this episode of Doctor Informed, we're hearing from two doctors who are out and proud at work, about what it's been like to be queer in medicine, and what good allyship looks like.

Does the placement of a breathing tube using video assistance (videolaryngoscopy) increase the success and safety of the procedure in newborn babies?
As you can imagine, placing a breathing tube into a newborn baby is a particularly challenging task, and research has been done into different ways to do this. In May 2023, Mohan Pammi and co-reviewers from Baylor College of Medicine, Children ' s Hospital of Philadelphia and Boston Children ' s Hospital, updated the Cochrane review on comparing videolaryngoscopy to the traditional direct laryngoscopy approach and Mohan describes the latest findings in this podcast.

Interventions to slow the progression of short-sightedness in children
In some areas of health and social care, the evidence from individual randomised trials answering questions about single interventions makes it difficult to choose between the interventions. Network meta-analyses can help with this by bringing all the evidence together in one place and, in February 2023, Cochrane Eyes and Vision published one such review, looking at the control of myopia in children. Here ' s lead author, John Lawrenson from City University of London in the UK, to tell us more. (Source: Podcasts from The Cochrane Library)

SCCM Pod-478: Challenges of Ill-Fitting Noninvasive Interfaces for Pediatric Patients
Although the variety of noninvasive interfaces for pediatric patients has grown in the past 10 years, they are still limited. Pediatric interfaces are typically scaled down from adult to child sizes, which does not consider the contours of a growing child’s face, causing poor fit in patients of certain ages. Donald S. Prough, MD, FCCM, was joined by Natalie Napolitano, MPH, RRT-NPS, during the 2023 Critical Care Congress to discuss how clinicians’ need to have the right equipment for their patients led to a device development project using 3D imaging that obtained sample sizes from various age groups to bridge the fit ...
