Early Sodium Intake in Preterm Newborns; Randomized Clinical Trial
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Sodium < 1mEq/kg/day and Sodium 5mEq/kg/day for Hyponatremia and Premature. Completed, enrolled 52 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Hyponatremia is a common complication among preterm infants, renal losses of sodium contribute to the development of hyponatremia in preterm newborns. Sodium imbalances impact in newborns outcome. There is controversy about the time of initiation and the requirements of sodium in premature infants. Hypothesis: early (24 hours of life) sodium supplementation (5mEq/kg/day) prevents the develop of hyponatremia in preterm infants.
