1 lut 2018 · The most likely clinical scenario of the infant in this video is a: The videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS), also known as a modified barium swallow study, is a form of instrumental assessment of swallow function.
Infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (January 2016 to December 2018) who were performed modified barium swallow study due to oral feeding difficulties were enrolled. Modified barium swallow study was done ≥ postmenstrual age 37 weeks to limit radiation exposure.
In this review, we will appraise (1) the physiology of swallowing and oral feeding skills, (2) disruptions to oral feeding in preterm infants, (3) feeding problems in preterm infants beyond the NICU, and (4) an algorithmic approach to the evaluation and management of neonatal feeding problems. 2.
16 maj 2006 · Key Points. Normal development of feeding and swallowing is an important basis for understanding feeding and swallowing disorders in infants and children. Critical and sensitive periods are...
Understanding the development of infant nutritive sucking skills, i.e., sucking, swallow processing, and respiration will: improve the diagnoses of oral feeding difficulties assist in the development of evidence-based assessment tools
28 mar 2020 · For safe and efficient swallowing, preterm infants need to attain functional maturation, control, and coordination of the processes involved in feeding. 16 Studies have shown that preterm infants have a mature 1:1 suck:pharyngeal swallow ratio and interval similar to the full-term infants when oral feedings are introduced by 33 to 34 weeks PMA ...
1 wrz 2023 · This observational study investigated the pathophysiology of swallowing mechanisms using VFSS in 30 infants and children with feeding difficulties. We found that among the 25 patients with high risk of aspiration, 22 (88%) had silent aspiration and 19 (76%) had neurological deficits.
