343 A Randomised Trial of Two Techniques of Bottle Feeding for Preterm Infants
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background and Aims Preterm infants will begin the transition from tube to suck feeds at ~34 weeks’ corrected age. Our aim was to compare physiological stability in two positions for bottle feeding preterm infants, the “cradle hold” versus a “side-lying” position. Methods Randomised crossover trial of infants < 34 weeks’ gestation at birth, ≥ 34 weeks’ corrected gestation at study, receiving ≥ two sucking feeds/day. Feeds were studied on successive days. A pulse oximeter (PO) measured oxygen saturation (SpO2) and heart rate(HR), before, during and for 30 minutes after feeds. Continuous data were compared with paired t-tests, proportions compared with Χ2. Results 25 study infants were, mean (SD) 29(3)weeks gestation and 1158(479)g at birth and mean (SD) 37(2.4) wks corrected age and 2740 (589)g at study. Eight study infants were receiving oxygen or respiratory support. In these 8 infants 5/8 (62%) versus 7/8 (87%) in side and cradle feeding positions experienced a SpO2 < 80% (p=0.25) during study feeds. Conclusions Little difference in physiological stability was seen between the two bottle feeding positions. Both methods may be appropriate for the transition from tube to bottle feeding in preterm infants.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
