Summary

This study tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help doctors order total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Premature babies often cannot eat by mouth and need nutrition delivered through an IV. The AI suggests TPN formulas based on each baby's lab values and health information, but doctors can accept, change, or reject the suggestions. The main goal is to see how often doctors accept the AI suggestions and whether it improves efficiency and safety.

Active substance

AI-driven clinical decision support software

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a safer, faster way for doctors to order IV nutrition for premature babies, reducing errors and improving care.

What could go wrong

This is a small pilot study, so results may not apply to all hospitals. The AI only suggests—doctors still decide. It may not improve outcomes or could have unexpected issues.
