The Effect of Feeding Length on the Oxygenation Instability Among Premature Infants

NCT03748472 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

SpO2 instability is in the nature of premature infants. Hypoxic episodes occur spontaneously in many of these infants, especially after the first week of life. Different interventions have been shown to influence the incidence of hypoxemic episodes in premature infants. Premature infants are fed via an NG/OG tube. Feeding length might influence the oxygenation instability among premature infants therefore the aim of this study is to evaluate the changes in oxygenation among preterm infants receiving respiratory support when are fed over 30 min vs over 2 hours, as documented by SpO2 histograms.

Conditions

  • Premature Infant
  • Respiratory Disease

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Continuous gavage feeding

Each subject will serve as his or her own control. In this arm infants will receive their feed over 2 hours and the next feed will be given over 30 min and then over 2 hours again.

PROCEDURE

Bolus feeding

Each subject will serve as his or her own control. In this arm infants will receive their feed over 30 min and the next feed will be given over 2 hours and then over 30 minutes again.
