We normally use Dextrose 10% within the first 3 days of life and start with - 60ml/kg/d for full-term, AGA, - 70 ml/kg/d for 1500-2500g birth weight, - 80 ml/kg/d for 1000-1500g birth weight, abd - 90-100 ml/kg/d for 500-1000g birth weight. The fluid intake is then beeing increased every day by 10ml/kg/d.

We've been doing LISA/MIST for a few years now, but there is still no clear guideline in our hospital concerning premedication. Almost every attending and fellow uses some sort of narcotic, though everybody uses different medication, and some use no premedication at all (most of the time).

For preterm infants born ≥ 32 weeks postmenstral age you assess at >28 days (but <56 days postnatal age or at discharge home, whichever comes first). Then you have to consider the treatment with oxygen >21% for at least 28 d plus for mild BPD: Breathing room air at 36 weeks postmenstrual age/by >28days (<56 days) age or at discharge, whichever comes first for moderate BPD: Need for<30% at 36 weeks postm
