Abstract: We evaluated the effects of bolus vs continuous tube feeding on cardiorespiratory events, detected by polysomnographic monitoring, in healthy preterm infants. Continuous tube feeding resulted in a significant increase of apneas and apneas-related hypoxic episodes compared with bolus feeding.<br /> (Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
