Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine if using a continuous non-invasive pCO monitor in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants during their first week of life could reduce rates of severe brain injuries (IVH or PVL) and related mortality.
- A total of 132 ELBW infants were observed, divided into a study group monitored by the TCpCO and a smaller control group due to monitor availability, showing no significant difference in rates of IVH/PVL or combined outcomes between the two groups.
- The research highlighted difficulties in conducting controlled trials in fast-evolving medical practices, as changes in standard care complicated the study's findings and limited the ability to make strong conclusions.
A growing body of research shows that rudeness negatively affects individual functioning and performance. Considerably less is known about how rudeness affects team processes and outcomes.

- Competency-based medical education (CBME) is becoming popular in post-graduate medical training, but implementing it sustainably is challenging due to various paradoxes.
- A qualitative study using in-depth interviews uncovered three major paradoxes: the balance between standardized and flexible assessment tools, the need for uniform implementation vs. tailored protocols for different wards, and the contrast between a common definition of competency and individual indicators of achievement.
- Addressing these paradoxes is crucial for successfully navigating the implementation challenges of CBME programs in medical education.
