Summary
This study tested whether lactoferrin, a protein found in milk, can prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in premature newborns. Fifty preterm babies who needed a breathing machine for at least 48 hours were given lactoferrin. Researchers tracked how many developed VAP, as well as other issues like sepsis and feeding problems, to see if the supplement helped protect their lungs.
