Prolonged Minimal Enteral Nutrition Versus Slowly Advancing Enteral Nutrition in Very Low Birth Weight Infants:

NCT02913677 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 199

Last updated 2018-01-17

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Recent studies showed the benefits of early initiation and advancement enteral feeds with daily increments in preterm infants on decreasing invasive infections and early achievement of full enteral feedings. But the data on enteral feeds of extremely low birthweight infants are limited. Preterm infants especially those \<1250 gr birthweight are at increased risk of developing feeding intolerance and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and so the initiation and the rate of increments of enteral feeds are usually uncertain issues for neonatologists.

Conditions

  • Enteral Nutrition
  • Born Very Premature
  • Infant, Very Low Birth Weight

Interventions

nutrition

Feeding was started in the first 48 hours. Fed with 10-15 ml/kg/d MEN for 5 days and than feed volumes were advanced by 20-25 ml/kg/d until 150ml/kg/d feed volume was achieved.
