Could a simple IV change protect premature Babies' brains?
NCT ID NCT04584983
Summary
This study is testing whether reducing the amount of intravenous (IV) fat given to extremely premature babies can help protect their brains from bilirubin, a substance that can cause damage. Researchers are comparing the usual amount of IV fat to a reduced amount in 134 infants, measuring bilirubin levels, hearing tests, and developmental outcomes at age 2. The goal is to see if this nutritional adjustment can prevent brain injury and improve long-term development.
