Abstract
Introducción: La nutrición de recién nacidos con peso muy bajo peso al nacer (MBPN) busca fomentar un crecimiento similar al que tiene lugar en el útero. Sin embargo, en la práctica, esto resulta difícil de conseguir y es frecuente encontrar una restricción del crecimiento extrauterino. La tendencia actual es evitar esta restricción por medio de una nutrición temprana parenteral y enteral. No obstante, la falta de certeza sobre muchas de las prácticas relacionadas con la nutrición ha dado lugar a una gran variación en los métodos. En 2009 y 2011 en nuestro hospital se dio un aumento inesperado de enterocolitis necrosante. Para comprobar la posible implicación de nuestra política de nutrición, pusimos en marcha una revisión sistemática y redactamos unas directrices para la práctica clínica (DPC) sobre la alimentación enteral en recién nacidos con MBPN. Las nuevas consideraciones sobre la duración de la fortificación y el uso de probióticos han dado lugar a una actualización de estas DPC. Métodos: Se definió un total de 21 preguntas clínicas sobre el tipo de leche, edad de inicio, modo de administración, porcentaje y volumen de los incrementos, fortificación, uso de probióticos y protocolo. Tras realizar una investigación sistemática de la evidencia disponible, la información fue contrastada y resumida para redactar las recomendaciones. La calidad de la evidencia disponible y la fuerza de las recomendaciones quedaron determinadas conforme a la escala SIGN. Comentario: Estas DPC pretenden ayudar a los médicos en su toma de decisiones. La aplicación protocolizada de mediciones bien probadas reduce la variación en la práctica clínica y mejora los resultados.
INTRODUCTION: The nutrition of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants is aimed at promoting a similar growth to that occurring in the uterus. However, in practice this is difficult to achieve and extrauterine growth restriction is frequent. The current tendency is to avoid this restriction by means of early parenteral and enteral nutrition. Nonetheless, uncertainty about many of the practices related with nutrition has resulted in a great variation in the way it is undertaken. In 2009 and 2011 in our hospital there was an unexpected increase in necrotizing enterocolitis. To check to see wether our nutrition policy was involved, we underlook a systematic review and drewup clinical practice guidelines (CPG) about enteral feeding in VLBW infants. New considerations about the duration of the fortification and the use of probiotics have led to an update of these CPG. METHODS: A total of 21 clinical questions were designed dealing with the type of milk, starting age, mode of administration, rate and volume of the increments, fortification, use of probiotics and protocol. Afete conducting a systematic search of the available evidence, the information was contrasted and summarized in order to draw up the recommendations. The quality of the evidence and the strength of the recommendations were determined from the SIGN scale. COMMENT: These CPG aim to help physicians in their decision making. The protocolized application of wellproven measurements reduces the variation in clinical practice and improves results.
