简要总结
In this pilot trial, the investigators will determine the feasibility of monitoring nutritive sucking patterns to facilitate the transition from tube to oral feeding in extremely-low-birth weight (ELBW) infants
详细描述
In this parallel-group randomized controlled trial, ELBW infants (birthweight < 1000 grams) will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either weekly reporting on objective measurements of sucking activity during oral feeding (intervention group) or usual care without information on sucking activity (control group).
