Enteral nutrition for preterm infants: translating ESPGHAN guidelines into practice

The survival of preterm infants has increased dramatically over the last two decades due to advances in obstetric and neonatal medicine, and advanced nursing care based on years of experience and a strong research base. Increasing survival, duration and complexity of intensive care means that nutritional management becomes increasingly important. It is therefore vital that all health professionals working in neonatal care understand how to translate nutritional research, knowledge and recommendations into everyday practice.
