Abstract:ObjectivesSodium homeostasis in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants is critical. While a lack of sodium delays growth, excessive supplementation increases morbidity.MethodsWe performed a single‐center retrospective study on sodium and fluid management during the first 2 weeks of live including all ELBW infants born between June 1, 2017 and May 31, 2019.ResultsForty‐seven patients (median GA 26 + 6 weeks, median BW 845 g) were included. Mean sodium intake was above the ESPGHAN recommendation, 4.58 mmol/kg… Show more
