Effect of different tube feeding methods on gastroesophageal reflux features in preterm infants: a pH-impedance monitoring study
• Continuous feeding and boluses may have a different impact on GER features assessed by pH-MII monitoring in tube-fed preterm infants. • The permanence of the feeding tube during or after the feeding period did not seem to worsen GER occurrence. • By reducing GER features, especially acid GER, continuous feeding may potentially contribute to limit the need for antiacid medications in this population.
