The Effect of Oral Motor Intervention on Oral Feeding Readiness and Feeding Progression in Preterm Infants
Background: Advances in neonatal intensive care have markedly improved survival in preterm infants. These babies need hospitalization due to the immaturity of the respiratory and digestive systems. The timing for the initiation of proper feeding in premature infants admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) is an important challenge for physicians, parents, and...
متن کاملInterventions to improve the oral feeding performance of preterm infants.
AIM Preterm infants have difficulty oral feeding. We hypothesized that a specific sucking and swallowing exercises vs. no intervention accelerate the attainment of independent oral feeding through a faster maturation of infants' oral feeding skills (OFS). METHODS Very low birthweight infants were randomized to a control, sucking and swallowing groups. Sucking consisted of active sucking on a ...
متن کاملOral Motor Intervention Improved the Oral Feeding in Preterm Infants
Oral feeding for preterm infants has been a thorny problem worldwide. To improve the efficacy of oral feeding in preterm infants, oral motor intervention (OMI), which consists of nonnutritive sucking, oral stimulation, and oral support, was developed. Published studies demonstrated that OMI may be as an alternative treatment to solve this problem; however, these results remain controversial. We...
متن کاملAssessment for oral feeding in preterm infants.
PURPOSE To assess the accuracy of the Preterm Oral Feeding Readiness Scale (POFRAS) on the beginning of oral feeding in preterm infants and to verify the concordance between this tool and the Oral Feeding Skill Level. METHODS 82 preterm infants were assessed by POFRAS regarding their readiness to initiate oral feeding and by the oral feeding skill level evaluation during the first oral feedin...
متن کاملThe Effects of Pre-feeding Oral Stimulations and Non-nutritive Sucking on Physical Growth and Independent Oral Feeding of Preterm Infants
Background: Breastfeeding failures and oral feeding problems in preterm infants result in long-term health complications. In this study, therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effect of oral stimulation along with non-nutritive sucking (NNS) on independent oral feeding initiation and weight gain in preterm infants. Methods: This prospective randomized clinical trial was carried out at Aliasghar Ho...
