Abstract:
With the obvious increasing of the survival of preterm infants in recent years,more and more attention to nutritional status has been attracted.Due to intrauterine undernutrition,preterm infants are on the demand of high calorie after birth,especially the very low and extremely low birth weight infants.However,simple gastrointestinal feeding often cannot meet the demand of nutrition and metabolism in these infants.Therefore,parenteral nutrition is considered to be an important method to obtain energy.Recently,application of large dose of intravenous amino acids during the early postnatal period has been widely used in foreign countries.It has been demonstrated that implementation of this strategy is not only safe,but also helpful on the improvement of preterm infants growth and nutritional status.Thus,establishment of parenteral nutritional support rapidly after birth is very necessary for preterm infants to catch up with intrauterine growth rate.
