Outcome of Very Very Low Birth Weight Infants
Clinics in Perinatology, 1986This review of the literature and selected unpublished data documents normal early outcome in 50 to 81 per cent of tiny infants. Educational outcome described by a few studies is less encouraging, with only 32 to 36 per cent considered normal. Each study investigated the contribution of different perinatal, environmental, or social variables, therefore

Feeding the Very Low-Birth-Weight Infant
Pediatrics In Review, 1993Unfortunately, premature birth occurs commonly in the United States. Improving the survival of very low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants depends in large part upon understanding the physiologic capabilities of their immature organ systems and providing appropriate support as they mature.

Rickets in very low-birth-weight infants
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1980THE ASSOCIATION of rickets with prematurity has received increased attention in the past ten years because of the improved survival rates and increasing numbers of observations in very low-birth-weight infants.

Delivery of the Very Low Birth Weight Infant
Clinics in Perinatology, 1981Very low birth weight infants are almost always the result of preterm labor, which is the most important problem in modem perinatal medicine. Response of the preterm fetus to labor and delivery, management of preterm labor and delivery, and the establishment of limits for aggressive perinatal care in very low birth weight infants are discussed.

Temperament in Very Low Birth Weight Infants
Nursing Research, 1986This 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.

Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Infants With Very Low Birth Weight
Seminars in Pediatric Surgery, 2000Necrotizing 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

“Minitouch” treatment of very low‐birth‐weight infants
Acta Paediatrica, 1993In 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, 2014Pulse 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.

Meconium Passage in Very‐Low‐Birth‐Weight Infants
Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 1993The 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.

Rickets in a Very Low Birth Weight Infant
Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 1989A 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.
