My standard practice is to extubate extremely preterm infants to:

Diamond💎 trial of routine nutrition interventions to support moderate-to-late–preterm infants out in NEJM did not show any effects on the time to full enteral feeding or on body composition at 4 months of corrected gestational age.

#neoTwitter folks, are Central Venous Catheters (CVCs - femoral/subclavian) in your NICU placed by a neonatologist?

Brett J. Manley 🤷🏼‍♂️ I'd even argue that with the rise of eminence-based medicine (often eloquently preached as physiology-based expert opinion), it is even more important to have well-done systematic reviews that clearly demonstrate lack of high quality evidence on important topics, esp for trainees

EBNEO COMMENTARY: REDUCING EXTUBATION FAILURE IN EXTREME PRETERM INFANTS – HIGHER VS STANDARD NCPAP
