Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effects of oral motor interventions on feeding performance of preterm infants with feeding and swallowing disorders. Methods According to the bed number, the premature infants were divided into two groups in equal number: the control group received non-nutritive sucking for 30 minutes before feeding , while the experiment group infants received oral motor interventions. The proficiency and volume transfer were observed and recorded. Result The proficiency and volume transfered in the experiment group were significantly better than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The oral motor interventions can effectively improve the feeding performance in preterm infants with feeding and swallowing disorders.
