Abstract:
Objective To explore the application effect of traditional and gravity nasogastric feeding of preterm infants in neonatal intensive care unit ( NICU) .Methods Eighty preterm infants whose gestational age was less than 34 weeks and birth weight was lower than 2 000 g from August 2012 to June 2013 were chosen through the prospective randomized controlled study method and were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group according to the hospitalization number , each with 40 cases.The control group received the traditional nasogastric feeding , and the observation group received the gravity nasogastric feeding . The time of achieving the total parenteral nutrition and hospitalization , the tolerance for feeding and the related complication were compared between two groups .Results The time of achieving the total parenteral nutrition and hospitalization in the observation group were significantly better than those of control group , and the differences were statistically significant (t=4.780, 8.846, respectively;P<0.05).The tolerance for feeding in the observation was higher than that of the control group , and the cases of apnea in the observation group were less than those of the control group , and the differences were statistically significant (χ2 =3.19, 9.69, respectively;P <0.05).No differences were found in the abdominal distension, diarrhea, necrotizing enterocolitis between two groups (χ2 =0.11, 0.21, respectively;P>0.05).Conclusions Gravity nasogastric feeding can increase the tolerance for feeding in the preterm infants , and shorten the time of achieving the total parenteral nutrition and hospitalization in order to lay a good foundation for growth and development of preterm infants.
