To identify the influence of various physiological and behavioral factors on feeding performance of preterm infants in the transition to full oral feeding.
We retrospectively reviewed data from a feeding assessment conducted on 24 preterm infants born at 25-31 weeks without severe brain complications.
Prolonged oxygen use and low current weight are two adverse factors for feeding efficiency (volume of milk ingested orally per minute in the initial 5 min of feeding) and proficiency (percentage of prescribed volume ingested orally over the entire feeding). Young post-menstrual age, low baseline oxygen saturation and high feeding efficiency were risk factors for oxygen desaturation during the initial feeding.
Proper feeding strategies are needed for preterm infants with those disadvantageous factors to improve their early feeding performance.
确定各种生理和行为因素对早产儿向完全口服喂养过渡时喂养表现的影响。
我们回顾性分析了 24 名胎龄 25-31 周、无脑损伤严重并发症的早产儿进行喂养评估的数据。
长时间吸氧和体重低是喂养效率（初始 5 分钟内口服摄入的牛奶量/分钟）和熟练程度（整个喂养过程中口服摄入的规定量的百分比）的两个不利因素。较小的校正胎龄、较低的基础氧饱和度和较高的喂养效率是初始喂养期间发生氧饱和度下降的危险因素。
对于有这些不利因素的早产儿，需要采取适当的喂养策略来提高他们的早期喂养表现。
