In preemies on NIPPV, feeding over 30 min vs 2 hours did nothing to improve oxygenation.
Good example of RCT results not being always generalizable to the individual patient says the bedside nurse!

Communication: less is more. Alan Alda, the M*A*S*H actor devotes his life to science communication. He says we should make only 3 points, explain ideas in 3 ways & repeat key points 3 times. This won't work unless our goal is connection: https://t.co/B55qJwAl3O V @FerraroRoberto
