Aspiration of Residual Gastric Contents

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to determine nutrition outcomes and risks to gastrointestinal integrity and function of aspirating for routine gastric contents prior to each feeding in very low birth weight premature infants.

Clinical Trial Description

The participants in the study will be randomly assigned (like the flip of a coin) to either have the leftover food in their stomach removed before each feeding, or not have the leftover food removed before each feeding. In addition, when a blood drawn is performed as regular care an extra amount with be taken. A test to determine how much of the hormones gastrin and motilin are contained in the blood will be performed. Stool samples will be collected. Participation could last up to approximately 6 to 8 weeks of age. ;
