The Effects of Swallowing Exercise and Non-Nutritive Sucking Exercise on Oral Feeding Readiness in Preterm Infants: A Randomized Controlled Trial

open access: yesInternational Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, 2021
Preterm infants demonstrate problems with pharyngeal swallowing in addition to sucking problems. Oral motor intervention and nonnutritive sucking (NNS) were introduced for promoting oral feeding skills in preterm infants. NNS cannot cover all the components of oral feeding.

Oral Feeding Readiness and Premature Infant Outcomes

Journal of Neonatal Nursing, 2019
Abstract Background Preterm infants develop a coordinated suck and swallow depending upon their postmenstrual age and neurological status. However, criteria to determine when to best initiate oral feeding are unclear. Yet, infant readiness for oral feeding is essential for successful transition from enteral tube to oral feeding.

Clinical Validation of the Preterm Oral Feeding Readiness Assessment Scale in Taiwan

Journal of Pediatric Nursing, 2021
A successful transition from gavage to full oral feeding is a decisive indicator for discharging premature infants from the neonatal intensive care unit. A clinically useful measure of oral feeding readiness would help nurses initiate implementation of the cue-based feeding model in Taiwan.

Oral Feeding Readiness in Preterm Infants

Advances in Neonatal Care, 2013
Oral feeding readiness in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) population of preterm infants is a complex and multifactorial concept that is encountered on a daily basis. The significance of having an understanding of the concept of oral feeding readiness within the context of prematurity is explored using the Wilsonian approach to concept analysis ...

Improve the clinical effective decision of the oral feeding readiness in preterm infants: Revise and validate the TC-POFRAS

Journal of Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine, 2022
BACKGROUND: Currently there is limited information to guide health professionals regarding the optimal time frame to initiate safe and effective oral feedings to preterm infants. The study aims to revise and validate a streamlined version of the Traditional Chinese-Preterm Oral Feeding Readiness Assessment Scale, the TC-POFRAS®, and evaluate its ...

Oral Feeding Readiness in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Neonatal Network, 2012
Oral feeding is a complex sensorimotor process that is influenced by many variables, making the introduction and management of oral feeding a challenge for many health care providers. Feeding practice guided by tradition or a trial-and-error approach may be inconsistent and has the potential to delay the progression of oral feeding skills. Oral feeding

Oromotor intervention for improving oral feed readiness in preterm infants

Karnataka Paediatric Journal
Objectives: Early oral motor intervention – comprising oral stimulation, oral support and noninvasive nasal suctioning – may enhance oral feeding skills in preterm infants and reduce hospital stay. Preterms typically struggle to initiate oral feeding due to the immature coordination of sucking, swallowing and ...
