Overview

Interventional study shows improved oral feeding readiness and reduced hospital stay in preterm infants, suggesting benefits of oro-motor strategies.

Key Points

  • Oro-motor intervention significantly improved oral feeding readiness in preterm infants compared to standard care.
  • Mean initiation of oral feeding occurred at 4.7 days in the intervention group versus 11.1 days in the control group, highlighting a faster transition.
  • Preterms receiving oro-motor intervention showed higher scores in the POFRAS assessment, indicating better feeding coordination.
  • Incorporating oro-motor strategies in NICU care could reduce hospital stays and optimize feeding outcomes for vulnerable infants.
