Summary
This study looked at whether placing a feeding tube past the stomach (into the duodenum) is safe and possible for very low birth weight premature infants. The goal was to reduce reflux and lung irritation that can worsen breathing problems. 24 babies were enrolled to check how well the tube could be placed and if it caused any harm.
