Impact of feeding method on diaphragm electrical activity and central apnea in preterm infants (FEAdi study)
Abstract
BACKGROUND: In preterm infants, it is unknown whether feeding affects neural breathing pattern.
OBJECTIVES: By measuring the diaphragm electrical activity (Edi) waveform, we evaluated the effect of enteral feeding and compared the effects of feeding methods on neural breathing pattern and central apnea in very low birth weight preterm infants.
