An overview of a qualitative study aimed for paediatricians and paediatric nurses. Recognising when a child is deteriorating—and knowing what to do next—is rarely straightforward.

A lumbar puncture involves the insertion of a needle between the lumbar vertebrae, at a level below the termination of the spinal cord, allowing for CSF collection from the subarachnoid space. Primarily performed as a diagnostic technique, the sampled CSF can be sent for biochemistry, cytology, and microbiology to aid identification of infections, subarachnoid haemorrhage and neurological conditions.

In assisted living and long-term care settings, survey readiness is a major concern for administrators and staff. A poor audit can lead to penalties, loss of reputation, or even closure. But if you want to be ready for your next survey, don’t just focus on checklists and compliance documents—start with something much more basic and powerful: respecting resident rights.

The promise of virtual care is no longer theoretical and is now a critical solution to many of healthcare’s most urgent challenges. Yet many healthcare leaders remain unsure how to build a business case for investment and launching the right program at the right time can be the difference between value and failure. For organizations seeking a financially sound, clinically effective entry point, Virtual Patient Observation (VPO) offers a compelling case to lead with.

One of the most common and valid criticisms of a randomized clinical trial is external validity—or generalizability. The point of any RCT is that we can apply the results to a patient we see in the office. A trial that recruits highly selected (perfect) patients is hard to apply to the “regular” everyday patient. A classic example is the DanGer-Shock trial of the microaxial flow pump in patients with cardiogenic shock.
