Effect Analysis of Standardized Micro Feeding Support and Touch Assistance on Feeding Tolerance and Growth and Development of Premature Infants
Objective To explore effect of standardized micro feeding support and touch assistance on improvement of feeding tolerance and other indicators of premature infants.Methods The paper chose 100 premature infants in Neonatology Department of Meizhou City Maternal and Child Health Hospital from September 2021 to August 2023,and divided them into groups in a 1:1 ratio.Control group was treated with routine feeding support,while observation group with standardized micro feeding support combined with touch assistance.Indicators were compared.Result ① Feeding tolerance:Observation group had lower levels of incidence of abdominal distension,vomiting,and gastric residue than control group(P<0.05).② Complications:Observation group had lower incidence of infection and necrotizing enterocolitis than control group(P<0.05).③ Growth and development indicators:Observation group had more significant increase in weight,body length,and head circumference than control group(P<0.05).④ Feeding status:Observation group had shorter time for complete gastrointestinal nutrition,disappearance of vomiting and bloating than control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Standardized micro feeding support and touch assistance can reduce incidence of feeding intolerance,related complications,and promote growth and development of premature infants effectively,which is worthy of reference.
