Trophic feeding is the practice of feeding minute volumes of enteral feeds in order to stimulate the development of the immature gastrointestinal tract of the preterm infant. This concept has be...
متن کاملThe fear of necrotizing enterocolitis versus achieving optimal growth in preterm infants--an opinion.
UNLABELLED Very-low-birthweight (VLBW) infants suffer marked growth delay despite well-intentioned efforts at combining enteral and parenteral nutrition. Fear of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) has traditionally influenced neonatologists toward delaying and progressing slowly with enteral feeding, while supporting the infant with parenteral nutrition. Current evidence suggests significant benef...
متن کاملMinimal enteral nutrition.
Although parenteral nutrition has been used widely in the management of sick very low birth weight (VLBW) infants, a smooth transition to the enteral route is most desirable. Animal studies have shown that long periods of starvation are associated with mucosal atrophy and reduction of enzymatic activity. Studies have shown that giving small volumes of feeds frequently exerts a trophic effect on...
متن کاملEffects of total parenteral nutrition on renal function in preterm neonate
Sum mary Aim: The aim of this study was to establish serum sistatine C, urine β2 microglobulin, gluthatione-S -transferase π and N-acetyle β-D glucosaminidase levels in order to evaluate the effect of total parenteral nutrition on renal function in premature infants. In addition, we aimed to compare the renal functions between premature infants receiving total parenteral nutrition and control g...
