AIM To assess the efficacy of cisapride in reducing the time required to establish enteral feeds in preterm infants. METHODS A randomised, double blind, placebo controlled trial was conducted of 34 infants of < or = 32 weeks of gestation, assigned to receive either cisapride 0.2 mg/kg/dose four times daily (n = 18) or placebo (n = 16).

متن کاملNasal high flow treatment in preterm infants
Nasal High Flow (HF) is a mode of 'non-invasive' respiratory support for preterm infants, with several potential modes of action, including generation of distending airway pressure, washout of the nasopharyngeal dead space, reduction of work of breathing, and heating and humidification of inspired gas. HF has several potential advantages over continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), the most...
