Weekly deep dives into the research shaping pediatric critical care. Each episode takes one high-impact article — from NEJM, Lancet, JAMA, PCCM, and beyond — and does what a journal club rarely has time for: a rigorous, honest appraisal of methodology, results, limitations, and what, if anything, should change in your practice on Monday morning. For intensivists, fellows, APPs, and nurses who want the evidence without the noise.
