Rapid assessment of feeding intolerance: a systematic approach to reduce time to full enteral feeding in preterm infants [PDF]
BackgroundFeeding intolerance (FI) is common in very preterm infants and often leads to unnecessary interruptions in enteral nutrition (EN), delaying full enteral feeding (FEF). The absence of standardized criteria contributes to inconsistent management.
