Continuous versus bolus nasogastric tube feeding in premature neonates: Randomized controlled trial
Background: Whether premature infants should be fed by bolus or continuous gavage feeding, is still a matter of debate. A recent Cochrane analysis revealed no difference. Study design and methods: We carried out a randomized controlled trial in premature infants on continuous versus bolus nasogastric tube feeding, to search for differences with respect to number of incidents, growth, and time t...
متن کاملContinuous infusion vs. bolus dosing: implications for beta-lactam antibiotics.
Beta-lactam antibiotics display time-dependant pharmacodynamics whereby constant antibiotic concentrations rather than high peak concentrations are most likely to result in effective treatment of infections caused by susceptible bacteria. Continuous administration has been suggested as an alternative strategy, to conventional intermittent dosing, to optimise beta-lactam pharmacokinetic/pharmaco...
متن کاملFeeding tolerance in preterm infants: randomized trial of bolus and continuous feeding.
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that continuous gastric infusion (CGI) is better tolerated than intermittent gastric bolus (IGB) in small very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. DESIGN Two-center, prospective, randomized, unmasked clinical trial. PATIENTS 28 VLBW infants (birth weight <1250 g). A strict feeding protocol was followed. INTERVENTION Patients were randomized to IGB or CGI. M...
متن کاملEffects of bolus tube feeding on cerebral blood flow velocity in neonates.
AIM To study continuously cerebral blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery before, during, and after tube feeding in neonates. METHOD Cerebral blood flow velocity was measured in 14 neonates using a Doppler ultrasound device. Blood pressure, respiration, and oxygen saturation were monitored. RESULTS Mean blood flow velocity decreased from 37 cm/s before feeding to 33 cm/s (P < 0.0...
متن کاملBreast feeding pattern in neonates.
The present study comprised 100 mothers of newborn babies with regard to their belief and practices about lactation. A vast majority (98.2%) of the mothers were breast feeding, 87.9% mothers used prelacteal feeds of one sort or the other. Only 0.5% breast fed their babies within 6 hours and nearly 50% started after 48 hours. Colostrum was discarded by 82.9% of mother and nearly 73% wanted to co...
