Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
The evaluation of gastric residuals as a measure of enteral tolerance in term and especially preterm newborns is a widely used practice in different centers worldwide. However, until now, it continues to be a controversial practice, since its real usefulness is not clear.
Our study proposes to evaluate and compare two groups of preterm newborns born between 26 + 0/7 and 33 + 6/7 weeks, randomized to measure or not measure gastric residuals and determine if this practice delays the full feeding achievement.
