Abstract
Background: Nutrition in premature neonates is associated with many problems. Nurses can promote nutritional tolerance in premature neonates through interventions. In this study, we have tried to identify the situation which leads to less residual volume in the stomach of the neonate.
Materials and Methods: 70 neonates were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The first group was fed in nesting position in the two first feeding sessions and in supine position in the next two sessions. The second group would be the opposite. In both groups, feeding was done once every one hour for 3 hours and the volume of the prescribed milk by the doctor was 5 ccs. The residual gastric volume after gavage was measured.
Results: The results of analyzing repeated measurements in each feeding method and each period indicate that the average of stomach residual volume has significant difference over time) P<0.001(.
Conclusion: The acquired results showed that this position in premature neonates can significantly decrease the amount of gastric volume after gavage in comparison to supine position.
