We have set the date for the next Journal Club to Tuesday 12 January 2016, at 7 PM (GMT).
The topic this time is outcomes of infants with Apgar score of zero at 10 min.
Commonly guidelines are that resuscitation may be stopped if an infant is till asystolic by 10 min of age and despite adequate resuscitative efforts. However, an interesting case series published in ADC concluded that a relatively large proportion of infants surviving despite Apgar score of zero at 10 minutes had a normal neurological assessment on follow-up.
The report is accompanied by an interesting editorial.
Both articles are available as Editor's Choices at the ADC web site:
