👉ELBW infants receive inadvertent sodium load above the recommended intake
📌Sodium load during the first 2 postnatal weeks of ELBW infants was significantly higher than recommended owing to inadvertent sodium intake and was associated with a higher risk of subsequent morbidity and mortality, although the study design does not allow conclusions on causality. Replacement of 0.9% saline with alternative carrier solutions might reduce sodium intake.
