Application routes
Enteral feed for neonates can be administered in two different ways: Continuous or by bolus.
- Continuous feeding is administered in gravity-assisted fashion via an open syringe or via a syringe pump.
- Jejunal feed must be given by continuous administration since there is not enough space to store bolus feeds in that part of the bowel.
- Continuous feeds are considered for infants with significant respiratory disease and/or cardiac failure, as well as infants with extremely low birth weight and infants that do not tolerate bolus feeds.
