Abstract

We examined superior mesenteric artery blood flow velocity in response to feeding in infants randomized to trophic feeds (n = 16) or nil per os (n = 18) during previous treatment for patent ductus arteriosus. Blood flow velocity increased earlier in the fed infants, but was similar in the 2 groups at 30 minutes after feeding.

Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00728117.

Max systolic, mean, and end-diastolic BFV for babies fed (hatched bars) and NPO (open bars) during medical treatment of the PDA. By 30 minutes after the test feed, both groups had a significant increase in systolic, mean and end-diastolic mesenteric BFV. Babies who fed during treatment of the PDA had an earlier rise in systolic and mean mesenteric BFV.
