To evaluate feasibility and efficacy of early exclusive enteral feeding (EEEF) in reducing time to achieve full enteral feeds.
A pragmatic randomized controlled trial of infants born at 30-33 weeks gestation. Infants were randomly assigned to receive EEEF (60-80 mL/kg/day) or conventional feeding (20-30 mL/kg/day) with intravenous fluids after birth. Feed volumes were increased by 20-30 mL/kg/day. Primary outcome was time to reach full enteral feeds.
Seventy infants were enrolled. Infants in EEEF group achieved full feeds sooner [Mean difference (MD) -1.2 (95%CI -1.8, -0.7)], required fewer hours of parenteral nutrition [0 (IQR 0, 19) vs. 91 (IQR 48, 132) hours, P < 0.001], had less need for central venous access (11.4% vs. 37.1%, P = 0.01) and had shorter hospital stays [MD -6.6 (95%CI -12.9, -0.2) days].
Early exclusive enteral feeding in 30-33 weeks gestation infants is feasible and reduces time required to achieve full enteral feeds and length of hospital stay.

评估早期纯肠内喂养(EEEF)在缩短实现完全肠内喂养时间方面的可行性和有效性。
一项针对孕30 - 33周出生婴儿的实用随机对照试验。婴儿出生后被随机分配接受EEEF(60 - 80毫升/千克/天)或常规喂养(20 - 30毫升/千克/天)并补充静脉输液。喂养量每天增加20 - 30毫升/千克。主要结局是达到完全肠内喂养的时间。
纳入70名婴儿。EEEF组婴儿更快实现完全喂养[平均差(MD)-1.2(95%置信区间-1.8,-0.7)],所需肠外营养小时数更少[0(四分位间距0,19)对91(四分位间距48,132)小时,P < 0.001],对中心静脉通路的需求更少(11.4%对37.1%,P = 0.01),住院时间更短[MD -6.6(95%置信区间-12.9,-0.2)天]。
对孕30 - 33周的婴儿进行早期纯肠内喂养是可行的,可缩短实现完全肠内喂养所需时间及住院时间。
