Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study is determining if enteral administration of Lactated Ringer's solution (LR) in preterm infants with feeding intolerance enables for faster advancement of milk feeding than fasting.


Clinical Trial Description

Feeding intolerance is a common problem in premature infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Definition is clinical and based on abdominal distension, abdominal tenderness, emesis, change in gastric residuals, presence of blood in stool, and apnea with bradycardia.

Feeding intolerance is associated with serious complications: necrotizing enterocolitis, longer hospitalization and prolonged intravenous nutrition complications (e.g. sepsis, liver damage). Therefore, the investigators aim to achieve adequate enteral nutrition as soon as possible.

Because LR is a an amniotic fluid-like solution, it may improve gastro-intestinal function and avoid fasting, as well as its multiple problems (e.g. intestinal atrophy and decreased intestinal motility). LR was chosen as the test solution because of experience documenting its safe use in comparable groups: in newborn resuscitation parenterally, in amnioinfusion, and in bowel irrigation. Moreover, LR is similar in electrolytes composition to the experimental solution used in previous studies by Barney et al in neonates. ;
