ABSTRACT

Objective To study the effect and application of 2-hour feeding in premature infants with very low birth weight.Methods 162 newborn cases with very low birth weight in the pediatrics department, The Third People's Hospital of Yunnan Province in September 2016-September 2017, were randomly divided into two groupsthe experimental group with 81 cases (feeding every 2 hours), and the control group with 81 cases (feeding every three hours). The application effect was compared in the two groups.Results Comparing the gastrointestinal tract feeding tolerance, growth rate, feeding time, days of intravenous infusion of high nutrient solution, risk of intrahepatic cholestasis disease, and days of hospitalization between the experimental group and the control group, the data had significant differences (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion 2-hour feeding in low birth premature infants can effectively stimulate the intestinal peristalsis, improve children's tolerance, speed up the growth rate, resume the gastrointestinal tract feeding as soon as possible, reduce the risk of cholestasis occurs and reduce the number of days in hospital. In clinical work, children's feeding tolerance, gastric retention, and bloating situation should be under strict observation and be delt with in time. These methods are worth promoting in the neonatal wards.
