Rapid enteral feed volume advancement's effect on necrotizing enterocolitis in very low birthweight preterm infants

Indianapolis, Indiana, USA

This literature review found that rapid enteral feed volume advancement in stable preterm infants with a birth weight > 1500g may reduce time to regain birth weight, reduce time to achieve full enteral feeds, and reduce the length of stay without increasing the risk of NEC.
