The study of early intravenous nutrition therapy in very low birth weight infants.
To analyze the clinical effect of early intravenous nutrition therapy for very low birth weight infants. 80 cases of very low birth weight infants referred to our hospital from June 2013 to June 2015 were randomly and evenly divided into two groups. The infants in group A were treated with early intravenous nutrition, while with late parenteral nutrition for those in group B. The intravenous nutrition time, proportion of body weight loss, time consumption for recovery to birth weight and full enteral nutrition and complication rate between the two groups were compared. We found that there were significant differences in the intravenous nutrition time, proportion of body weight loss, and time consumption for recovery to birth weight and full enteral nutrition between the two groups (P<0.05). Moreover, the complication rate of group A was 7.5%, which was 17.5% lower comparing with 25.0% in group B (P<0.05). Thus, we conclude that early intravenous nutrition therapy in very low birth weight infants is effective and safe and further promotion and application of this therapy is worthy.
