Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate if NIRS based (rSO2/FTOE) monitoring would predict feed intolerance episodes in high risk neonates earlier as compared to clinical assessment and monitoring during enteral feeding.Timepoint: From onset of feeds (20ml/kg) upto 100ml/kg of feed volume | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess 1. Time taken to achieve full feeds in both the groups 2. Growth assessment at discharge in both the groups 3. Complications encountered in both the groups due to feed intolerance: Medical/Surgical NECTimepoint: Onset of feeds Time taken to achieve full feeds At discharge | — |
