Nutritional Support of the Neonate: Alternate Fuels and Routes of Administration

  • Chapter
Principles of Perinatal-Neonatal Metabolism

Abstract

Since the advent of modern neonatal intensive care we have witnessed the survival of many critically ill very low birthweight (VLBW) neonates. Many of the technical advances that have contributed to the improved survival of these neonates have been focused on the treatment of cardiopulmonary disease. These important intensive care technologies include state of the art ventilators, medical or surgical therapy for patent ductus arteriosus, and surfactant therapy of respiratory distress syndrome.13
