Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of early minimal enteral feeding′s prevention and cure of feeding intolerance of very low birth weight infants (VLBWs).Methods A total of 45 VLBWs from the neonatal intensive care unit(NICU) of the second people′s hospital of Shantou,were included,from 2011 Jan to 2012 Dec. 23 infants in the intervention group which were hospitalized in 2012,received early minimal enteral feeding (MEF), while 22 infants in the control group which were hospitalized in 2011,received routine feeding .The incidence of feed-ing intolerance of the two groups was observed .Results The incidence rate of feeding intolerance was 21.74%(5 cases) in the intervention group and 72.73%(16 cases) in the control group.The incidence rate of feeding intol-erance of the intervention group was lower than that of the control group obviously and the difference was statistical significance(P<0.05).The time to achieve full enteral feeding of the intervention group [(28.22 ±1.97)days] was significantly shorter than that of the control group [(34.23 ±3.10)days](P<0.05).Conclusion An early MEF is beneficial to reduce the occurrence rate of feeding intolerance ,achieve full enteral feeding sooner ,decrease the length of hospital stay and improve the life quality of VLBWs .
