Abstract

Survival of premature neonates has increased markedly over the past 10 years. This is related to advances in knowledge as well as an increase of sophisticated equipment improving both the diagnosis and treatment of neonatal problems. The advances have improved care of respiratory failure, thermoregulation, fluid and electrolyte balance, and maintenance of energy needs. A shift in focus has occurred toward other problems of clinical concern during the neonatal period such as infections, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and the consideration of how to best nourish the rapidly growing premature neonate. Last year our neonate survival for very-lowbirth-weight (VLBW) infants (<1500g) was 80%.
