Measure
Continuous Feeding Regimen
Enteral feedings given as combination of continuous nocturnal feedings and intermittent bolus daytime feedings. Continuous Feeding Regimen: Nocturnal continuous enteral feedings given from 8pm-8am with intermittent bolus feedings every 3 hours between 11am and 5pm. Continuous feedings given via gavage (nasogastric tube, orogastric tube or gastrostomy tube) and intermittent bolus feeds via gavage or nipple. Total caloric intake maintained at 120-130 kcal/kg/d.
Intermittent Bolus Feeding Regimen
Enteral feedings given as intermittent bolus feedings for entire 24 hour period. Intermittent Bolus Feeding Regimen: Intermittent bolus enteral feedings given after 3 hours for entire 24 hours period. Feedings given via gavage or nipple. Total caloric intake maintained at 120-130 kcal/kg/d.
