Abstract

Background: Oro-motor intervention methods were previously adopted to improve the sucking pattern but there is still a lag in the structured protocol for improving sucking behavior in infants with immature sucking. Thus, this study is aimed to develop a structured protocol for the Oro-motor intervention to improve sucking behavior.

Method: Using the prospective observational study design, neonates with poor suck (producing less than 10 sucks per minute), under NG tube feeding, and maintaining oxygen saturation at room air were included. A total of 6 subjects were enrolled in this study and they were treated with Oro-motor intervention protocol. The Sucking rate and LATCH score were taken as the outcome measures and measured at beginning of intervention and after 2 weeks of intervention.

Result: The mean pre-test and post-test values for sucking rate were is (8.66), (32.5) and LATCH were (4.66), (8.16) respectively. The data collected showed that the protocol framed for Oro-motor intervention was significantly effective in improving quality of feeding among infants with immature sucking behavior.

Conclusion: The structured Oro-motor intervention protocol improves the feeding performance in infants with poor sucking behavior and improves the LATCH score. All the infants included in this study where under nasogastric tube feeding, thus the structured protocol can be considered to be helpful in weaning from NG tube feeding.

Oro-Motor干预方案改善吮吸不成熟新生儿的吮吸行为:一项实验方案。

背景:先前已采用Oro-motor干预方法来改善吮吸方式，但在改善不成熟吮吸婴儿吮吸行为的结构化方案方面仍存在滞后。因此，本研究的目的是制定一个结构化的方案，为奥罗运动干预，以改善吸吮行为。方法:采用前瞻性观察研究设计，纳入吸吮不良(吸吮次数小于10次/ min)、NG管喂养、维持室内空气氧饱和度的新生儿。本研究共纳入6名受试者，采用Oro-motor干预方案进行治疗。以吸吮率和LATCH评分作为结局指标，分别于干预开始时和干预2周后测量。结果:前测和后测吸吮率平均值分别为(8.66)、(32.5)，LATCH平均值分别为(4.66)、(8.16)。收集的数据表明，Oro-motor干预方案框架在改善吮吸行为不成熟婴儿的喂养质量方面显着有效。结论:结构化Oro-motor干预方案可改善吸吮行为不良婴儿的喂养行为，提高LATCH评分。本研究中所有的婴儿均采用鼻胃管喂养，因此该结构化方案可被认为有助于断奶鼻胃管喂养。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
