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.
经口（OG）和鼻胃（NG）管已被报道会延迟母乳喂养的开始并影响呼吸功能。然而，喂养管对吸吮压力的影响尚未得到很好的研究。本研究纳入了 14 名早产儿，测量了他们在使用 OG 管、NG 管和无任何管进行奶瓶喂养时的吸吮压力。将 OG 管更换为 NG 管后，吸吮压力显著增加（p = 0.044）。然而，将喂养方式从 NG 管改为口服后，吸吮压力无显著差异。因此，NG 管在吸吮压力方面优于 OG 管。
