Abstract

This prospective, descriptive observational pilot study with repeated measures examined the relationships between feeding intolerance, intrauterine and extrauterine factors, and circulatory and intestinal immaturity in the premature, very low birthweight (VLBW) infant. It also explored the use of splanchnic oxygenation as an objective measure of feeding intolerance.
