Abstract：Objective To investigate the effect of prone position combined with touch intervention on feeding intolerance in premature low birth weight infants.Methods A total of 200 children with premature low birth weight who were admitted to our hospital from March 2016 to May 2019 were selected as subjects, they were divided into control group and observation group according to the random number table method, with 100 cases in each group.The control group received routine care, and the observation group performed a prone position combined with touch intervention.The duration of feeding intolerance, the time required to restore birth weight, the time of adequate gastrointestinal feeding, the time of bloating, vomiting and gastric retention disappeared were compared.The growth and development of the two groups and the incidence of complications were recorded.Results The duration of feeding intolerance, the time required to restore birth weight, and the time to achieve adequate gastrointestinal feeding were (6.53±1.24), (13.11±2.34),and (12.58±2.28) d, both shorter than the (8.56±1.13), (14.22±2.19), (18.67±3.54) d in the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05).The disappearance time of bloating, vomiting and gastric retention in the observation group was (3.75±1.46), (4.13±1.01), (4.38±1.19) d, which were shorter than the (5.63±2.27), (4.74±1.43), (6.89±2.56) d in the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05).After intervention, the weight of the observation group was (2583.33±201.42) g, which was higher than that of the control group for (2372.52±284.32) g, and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).After intervention, the body lengthand head circumference of the observation group were (47.53±2.94) and (32.94±2.75) cm, which were longer than the (45.73±2.56) and (31.34±1.73) cm in the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05).The total incidence of complications in the observation group was 9.00%, which was lower than the 21.00% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion Prone position combined with touch intervention can improve the feeding intolerance of premature low birth weight infants, which can effectively promote the growth and development of children and reduce the incidence of complications.
