Abstract:
Objective To examine the effect of post-discharge nutrition management on the growth speed of neonates after bowel surgery. Methods Nutrition feeding guidance was carried out in 133 post-discharge infants after surgery through nutrition clinic. The growth speed was detected every month and compared with the normal standards, then the time to accelerate growth speed was evaluated. Results The growth speed of neonates in the first postoperative month was lower than the normal standards, especially in males (weight P=0.000; length P=0.041; circumference P=0.010). While during two to three months, male infants showed acceleration in length growth speed [(4.53±1.22) cm vs. (3.1 ±0.4) cm, P=0.013], and female infants showed acceleration in weight [(1.51 ±0.76) kg vs. (0.83±0.39) kg, P=0.028] and circumference growth speed[(2.50±0.93) cm vs. (1.2±0.7) cm, P=0.021]. Conclusions Scientific post-discharge nutrition management helps neonates grow faster after bowl surgery. The two to three months after operation is the key period of growth speed acceleration.
