A child born with cleft lip and palate may experience difficulties while feeding. Obtaining a good seal of the oral cavity can be difficult due to the incomplete facial and palatal structures. Nasal regurgitation and choking are common in infants with cleft palate because of inability of the palate to separate the nasal and oral cavities. The case presented here is a 3-day-old neonate born with cleft lip and palate, assisted with a new feeding appliance made with ethylene vinyl acetate using pressure moulding technique in biostar machine for proper feeding.
患有唇腭裂的儿童在喂养时可能会遇到困难。由于面部和腭部结构不完整，很难实现口腔的良好密封。腭裂婴儿由于腭部无法分隔鼻腔和口腔，鼻反流和呛噎很常见。这里介绍的病例是一名3天大的唇腭裂新生儿，使用生物星机器中的压力成型技术，借助由乙烯-醋酸乙烯酯制成的新型喂养器具辅助其进行正常喂养。
