Abstract

Aim: To assess the effect of abdominal massage pre-gavage
feeding on tolerated
feeding for low birth weight (LBW) infants.
Methods: An experimental research design at a government hospital at Egypt.
Purposive sample composed of LBW infants was randomly divided into study and
control groups each with 60 LBW infants.
Results: A total of 55% of the participants in the study group grew sleepy, whereas
only 15% of the studied participants in the control group grew sleepy. The abdominal
circumference after feeding in the study group was 23.18 ± 2.99 cm, whereas that in
the control group was 24.79 ± 2.99 cm. The gastric residual volume in the study group
was 0.8 ± 0.10 ml, whereas that in the control group was 3.86 ± 1.03 ml.
Conclusion: Finally, abdominal massage had a positive impact on the postfeeding
state of alertness and feeding tolerance.
