The Incubator Channel · 2 Sept 2026 · 16 min
Summary
A journal club discussing a single-centre non-inferiority trial randomising 132 infants under 29 weeks and under 1000 g to extended infusion versus two-hourly bolus feeds, with similar weight gain at discharge but fewer days of interrupted feeds in the infusion group. The presenters discuss the five-on, one-off infusion cycle, two-hourly bolus feeding, and why feed interruptions may be the more meaningful outcome.
