Critique of a qualitative study 2 (Facilitator)
In this journal club session, we will review qualitative research and critically appraise an ethnography paper that Dr. Kriegel mentioned in last week’s lecture. At the end of this session, you should better understand how qualitative research can be utilized. Learning goals Demonstrate respectful, constructive, adaptive interactions with peers and/or facilitators, including punctual attendance, advanced […]
Qualitative methods 2
Learning Goals Define and apply qualitative analytic methods Define and distinguish between qualitative research paradigms, study designs, and data collection methods Identify strategies for rigor Evaluate and consume qualitative research Qualitative analysis and mixed methods Qualitative analysis When conducting qualitative analysis, no matter the analytic approach, we focus primarily on discovering patterns. These patterns can […]
Distributive shock
Distributive shock is a critical condition characterized by inadequate blood flow that leads to poor tissue perfusion, and thus, inadequate oxygen delivery. It is an umbrella term that includes common pediatric conditions, including sepsis and anaphylaxis, and requires prompt recognition and intervention to prevent morbidity and mortality. This article provides an overview of the epidemiology, […]
Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Ketoacidosis is responsible for the initial presentation of insulin dependent diabetes (IDDM) in up to 25% of children. It is the triad of hyperglycemia (above 200mg/dL), systemic ketosis (with ketones present in the urine or a beta-hydroxybutyrate (BOHB) over 3mmol/L), and acidosis (pH of <7.3 or bicarb <15mmol/L). It can be classified as either mild, […]
