Abstract
Orogastric (OG) and nasogastric (NG) tubes have been reported to delay breastfeeding initiation and affect respiratory function. However, the effects of feeding tubes on sucking pressure have not been well studied. Fourteen preterm infants were enrolled in this study, and their sucking pressures during bottle feeding with an OG tube, NG tube, and without any tube were measured. Sucking pressure significantly increased after changing the OG tube to an NG tube (p = 0.044). However, sucking pressure showed no significant differences after changing the feeding method from an NG tube to oral intake. Thus, NG tubes are superior to OG tubes in terms of sucking pressure.
