Objective To evaluate the effects of flushing gastric tube by air after feeding in premature infants.Methods A total of 60 premature infants admitted to Guangzhou First People's Hospital from January 2021 to December 2021 whose gastric tube were flushed with water after feeding were selected as the control group,while 57 admitted from January 2022 to December 2022 whose gastric tube were flushed with air after feeding were selected as the study group.After 1 week of feeding,the differences of weight increase,serum albumin concentration increase,stool volume,feeding intolerance incidence and gastric tube blockage rate were compared between the 2 groups.Results No gastric tube blockage occurred.The increase of serum albumin concentration in the study group[(2.86±5.61)g/L]was significantly higher than that in the control group[(0.84±5.27)g/L](P＜0.05),but there were no significant differences in weight increase,stool volume and feeding intolerance incidence between the 2 groups.Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the flushing gastric tube with air was an independent influencing factor for the increase of serum albumin(P＜0.05).Conclusions Flushing gastric tube with air can improve the nutritional status of premature infants,which is worthy of clinical application.
