Thickened Feedings for Premature Infants in the NICU Erin Pryor, MPH, RD, LD April 12, 2012 ONN Spring Meeting Columbus, Ohio

History of Thickening Feeds1 Thickening of infant formulas for treatment of GER for > 50 years - cereal, rice, bean gum, pectin, cellulose Rationale: Thickening increases the stickiness and weight of the feeds - Controversial with evidence of delayed gastric emptying Alternative treatment modalities Prone position with head at 30 degrees Smaller frequent feedings Histamine H-2 antagonists/Proton pump inhibitors Time Severe cases: surgery 1. Reviewers: Huang R-C, Forbes DA, Davies MW http://www.nichd.nih.gov/chochrane/Huang/Huang.htm

Thickening Feeds Common practice yet no evidence of effectiveness - Lack of randomized, controlled studies of non- pharmacological management of GER Spontaneous resolution occurs more frequently in premature neonates Theoretical disadvantages Delayed gastric emptying Increased caloric density Constipation

Diagnostic Tests2 pH probe test Barium swallow study Upper GI Radionuclide milk scans to detect pulmonary aspiration 2. Feed thickener for newborn infants with gastro-oesophageal reflux (Review) The Cochrane Collaboration. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2009.
