Effects of bundle care on feeding intolerance in premature infant

Abstract

Objective To investigate the effects of bundle care on feeding intolerance in premature infants. Methods A total of 80 premature infants admitted to the neonatal department of a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital in Changzhou from August 2017 to February 2018 were recruited. The study subjects were randomly divided into experimental group and control group by random number table method, with 40 cases in each group. The two groups of premature infants were treated with bundle care and routine nursing respectively. The effects of the two regimens on the occurrence of feeding intolerance, growth and development indicators of premature infants from birth to 14 days were compared. Results After the intervention, The incidence of feeding intolerance of preterm infants in the experimental group was less than that in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05) . Compared with the control group, the growth of body weight, head circumference and length of preterm infants in the experimental group was significantly greater than that in the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05) . Conclusions The bundle care can effectively reduce the occurrence of feeding intolerance of premature infants, improve the feeding quality of premature infants, and provide theoretical basis for improving feeding intolerance of premature infants, which can be applied in clinic.
