摘要

Objective

To compare regional splanchnic oxygenation (SrSO2) levels and clinical outcomes between infants who received minimal enteral nutrition (MEN) during Therapeutic Hypothermia (TH), and those who did not.

Study design

A prospective, interventional cohort study with a historic control group at two Regional Perinatal Centers (NCT05471336).

Results

Participant demographics and clinical illness severity were similar between MEN (n = 40) and control (n = 40) groups. There were no significant safety events. SrSO2 levels were normal in both groups throughout. Subjects that received MEN experienced fewer central line days (5.8 v 6.9, p = 0.005) and higher rates of human milk feeding (77% v 46%, p = 0.010), and achieved full oral feeds sooner (9.9 v 13.4 days, p = 0.043).

Conclusion

Splanchnic tissue oxygenation was normal in both groups, and similar between groups throughout TH. Providing MEN during TH appears safe and effective, resulting in several important clinical benefits.
