A comprehensive assessment of feeding performance of infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) includes not only the traditional approaches of evaluating oral motor control and sensory responses but also evaluation of other factors. Infant feeding is a highly complex and integrated process involving numerous body systems. A global assessment would determine the infant's feeding function in the key areas of state and behavior, tactile responses, motoric control, oral motor function, physiologic control, and coordination of sucking, swallowing, and breathing. Information is obtained through skilled clinical observation as well as from technological monitors or medical tests and procedures. This article provides an overview of a comprehensive assessment that occupational therapists may use when providing service to infants in the NICU.
对新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）中婴儿喂养表现的全面评估不仅包括评估口腔运动控制和感觉反应的传统方法，还包括对其他因素的评估。婴儿喂养是一个高度复杂且相互关联的过程，涉及众多身体系统。全面评估将确定婴儿在状态与行为、触觉反应、运动控制、口腔运动功能、生理控制以及吸吮、吞咽和呼吸协调等关键领域的喂养功能。信息通过专业的临床观察以及技术监测器或医学检查与程序获取。本文概述了职业治疗师在为NICU中的婴儿提供服务时可能使用的全面评估方法。
