Temperament in Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Nursing Research, 1986
This project compared the temperament of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants to that of full-term infants at 6 and 12 months of age, assessed patterns of change in temperament from 6 to 12 months, and investigated effects of the neonatal experience on manifestations of temperament in VLBW babies.

Indomethacin therapy for large patent ductus arteriosus in the very low birth weight infant: results and complications.

Pediatrics, 1979
Of 36 very low birth weight infants (6.0 mEq/liter in 25%. Indomethacin caused a reduction in PaCO2 (41 to 37 mm Hg, P < .01) and an increase in pH (7.32 to 7.36, P < .02) with no change in base deficit.

Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Infants With Very Low Birth Weight

Seminars in Pediatric Surgery, 2000
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a disease in which the primary risk factor is prematurity. Despite, and partially as a result of, the tremendous strides neonatal care has taken, it is a major cause of morbidity and mortality of the newborn. The infant with very low birth weight is particularly susceptible, and the management of the condition in this

Acta Paediatrica, 1993
In a cohort study with historical controls of non‐asphyxiated very low‐birth‐weight infants (birth weight ≤ 1500 g and gestational age <33 completed weeks), we evaluated the use of a “minitouch” regime for stabilization after birth and treatment of respiratory distress.

Pulse Oximetry in Very Low Birth Weight Infants

Clinics in Perinatology, 2014
Pulse oximetry has become ubiquitous and is used routinely during neonatal care. Emerging evidence highlights the continued uncertainty regarding definition of the optimal range to target pulse oximetry oxygen saturation levels in very low birth weight infants.

Management of Cholestasis in Infants With Very Low Birth Weight

Seminars in Pediatric Surgery, 2000
Infants with very low birth weight (VLBW) are at increased risk of cholestasis when compared with older infants and children. Factors associated with this increased risk of cholestasis include immaturity of the biliary excretory system, a diminished immune response to sepsis, an increased incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis and short bowel syndrome,

Early nutrition of very low birth weight infants

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2009
In the past, initiation of nutritional support of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants was delayed because of concerns about the safety of nutrient administration. This contributed to the impairment of neurocognitive development that these infants often display later in life.

Rickets in a Very Low Birth Weight Infant

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 1989
A report on a case of rickets in a very low birth weight infant (VLBWI) is presented. The infant had no high‐risk factors for rickets and was fed a specialized preterm formula with vitamin D supplementation (200 IU daily) by 10 days of age. Feeds were advanced so that an enteral intake of 120 cal/kg/day was achieved by the 20th day of life.

Meconium Passage in Very‐Low‐Birth‐Weight Infants

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 1993
The timing of the first meconium stool has been considered a marker for proper gastrointestinal functioning in the term infant. There is limited information on the meconium passage patterns of very‐low‐birth‐weight infants of less than 32 weeks' gestation. It is unknown whether feeding practices influence the timing of the first stool in these infants.
