Description
Ahana Nagarkatti, Shikha Sarkar, Amirul Anuar, and Naveed Hussain review, in 2024, one center's use of feeding past the stomach for the smallest premature babies at risk of severe lung disease. Reflux and tiny aspirations are suspected of worsening their lungs. Feeding through a tube that passes the stomach valve is one countermeasure, but evidence was thin.
The review covered two hundred twenty-nine infants, seventy-eight of them fed this way. That group was smaller at birth and sicker, with more lung-related high blood pressure and more need for stomach or airway tubes. Within the fed group, lung severity scores were tracked before and after feeding began. Sicker babies got the treatment, which clouds simple comparisons.
