Fluid and Parenteral Nutrition Practices in Extreme Preterm Neonates Among Neonatology Practitioners in India: A Web-based Survey.

An online survey pertinent to fluid and parenteral nutrition practices in extreme preterm neonates was undertaken with responses from 123 neonatology practitioners across India. The initial fluid rate of 80 mL/kg/day was preferred by 67% neonatologists for 750-1000 g neonates. Half of them increased the fluid rates when weight loss per day was >2%. Practices vary widely across settings and guideline tailor made to clinical conditions is needed.
