Parental Involvement in Enteral Nutrition in Neonatal Units — PREMALIM  

Premature Birth Clinical Trial

Official title:
Impact of Parental Involvement in Enteral Nutrition on Their Presence in Neonatal Units

Clinical Trial Summary

- Hypothesis : Bolus feeding of the newborn with a syringe under parents' visual control increases parental presence when compared to enteral feeding with a syringe pump. - Main criteria : Comparison of parental presence (mean time in hours) between the two arms : pushed bolus syringe feeding under parent's visual control and enteral feeding with a syringe pump.

Clinical Trial Description

- Nutrition is the cornerstone of neonatology. Adequate nutrition is necessary for a healthy brain growth and a physiological development. When oral feeding skills are not acquired, enteral feeding is used via a nasogastric tube by an electric syringe pump. The birth a premature child jeopardizes parent-infant bonding and hinders parental feeding skills. Family-centered care has shown to be beneficial for the child and his parents by promoting early interactions, which lay the foundations for the child's psychological development. As such, pushed bolus enteral feeding by the parents with a syringe has been a common practice in Sweden since the 1980s to involve the parents in enteral feeding practices. In France, this practice has been used in neonatal intensive care units (NICU). Two French studies on this subject have been published. One focused on using parental pushed bolus enteral feeding in a hospitalization at home setting, whereas the other study investigated the impact of parental observation on pushed bolus enteral feeding. To our knowledge, there is no study proving the superiority of bolus feeding with a syringe under parents' visual control over enteral feeding with a syringe pump. - This study is an open-label, randomized, comparative interventional study with an intention-to-treat analysis. We compared a control group (enteral nutrition with an electric syringe pump while the neonate is lying in a cocoon or carried by their parent) to an intervention group (pushed bolus enteral nutrition under parents' visual control) - In the control group, enteral feeding used an electric syringe pump. - In the intervention group, the first enteral feeding is pushed with a syringe by the nurse. Following enteral feeding attempts are pushed with a syringe by the parents only if they can or will grow. Bolus feeding speed is at the discretion of the person pushing the syringe (nurse or parent) and is adjusted to the child's signs of discomfort. When the parents are absent, enteral feeding is carried out with a syringe pump. ;
