  • Title: Nutritional supplements with intravenously administered lipid, protein hydrolysate, and glucose in small premature infants.
    Author: Cashore WJ, Sedaghatian MR, Usher RH.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 1975 Jul; 56(1):8-16. PubMed ID: 808789.
    Abstract:
    Nutritional support with intravenously administered fat, protein hydrolysate, and glucose was given to 23 premature infants weighing less than 1,500 gm at birth. Growth in the 19 survivors approximated intrauterine growth rates in all dimensions. Complications included sodium imbalance and transient intolerance of the smallest and sickest infants to all components: carbohydrate, protein, fat, and even water. Autopsies in four patients who died did not reveal any untoward findings clearly related to the use of intravenously given lipids. Intravenously given fat has a potentially useful role in the nutritional support of small premature infants.
