Fluid Therapy and Nutrition in Micropremies / 한양의대학술지

ABSTRACT

As the number of survivors of extremely preterm infants increases, the study of their growth and development are now becoming a priority issue of neonatal intensive care. However, maintaining water and electrolyte balance and providing the optimal nutrition for growth and development in these infants are still challenging in modern neonatal intensive care. It is essential to define the risks and benefits of current fluid/electrolyte management and early parenteral and enteral nutrition in micropremies for better outcome. Neonatal clinicians should recognize the barriers and obstacles to the implementation of these recommendations.
