Abstract
- 32 healthy or sick low birth weight infants (birth weight less than 1,200 g), surviving more than 48 hours with or without respiratory distress were fed by continuous enteral infusion of human milk through a nasoduodenal tube. By this method, oral caloric intake was increased quickly. This allowed early suppression of intravenous supplementation and lowered risks of metabolic and septic disorders. Precautions which are to be followed in order to lower intestinal complications are reported.
