Probiotics for Preterm Infants
Sponsor: Ankara City Hospital Bilkent
Summary
Probiotics will be used for preterm infants under 32 weeks of gestation and under 1500 g birthweight. Our aim was to investigate the effects of probiotics for stable preterm infants after extubation and who reached full enteral feeding. There are some hesitations among care-givers to start probiotics early due to safety issues although there are many positive effects of these products reported int the literature.
