Feeding neonates orally while on nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) is a common practice. We hypothesize that pressurized airflow provided by nCPAP will alter the swallowing mechanism in neonates, increasing the risk of aspiration during oral feeding.
Infants receiving nCPAP with a RAM cannula and tolerating at least 50% of their feeding orally were included in the study (one term; six preterm infants). Each participant underwent a videofluoroscopic swallow study while on nCPAP and off nCPAP. A non-parametric signed-rank test was used for paired data.
The incidence of deep penetration (P=0.03) and aspiration (P=0.01) decreased significantly off-nCPAP compared with on-nCPAP. However, the incidence of mild penetration (P=0.65) and nasopharyngeal reflux (P=0.87) remained the same under both conditions.
Oral feeding while on-nCPAP significantly increases the risk of laryngeal penetration and tracheal aspiration events. We recommend caution when initiating oral feedings on nCPAP.
在新生儿接受鼻持续气道正压通气(nCPAP)时经口喂养是一种常见做法。我们推测,nCPAP提供的加压气流会改变新生儿的吞咽机制,增加经口喂养期间误吸的风险。
纳入使用RAM插管接受nCPAP且经口喂养至少50%奶量的婴儿(1名足月儿;6名早产儿)。每位参与者在使用nCPAP和不使用nCPAP时均接受视频荧光吞咽研究。配对数据采用非参数符号秩检验。
与使用nCPAP时相比,不使用nCPAP时深度穿透(P=0.03)和误吸(P=0.01)的发生率显著降低。然而,在两种情况下,轻度穿透(P=0.65)和鼻咽反流(P=0.87)的发生率保持不变。
使用nCPAP时经口喂养会显著增加喉穿透和气管误吸事件的风险。我们建议在开始对使用nCPAP的婴儿进行经口喂养时要谨慎。
