A non-instrumental assessment of NNS includes an evaluation of the following: The clinician can determine the appropriateness of NS following an NNS assessment. 0000027867 00000 n Pediatric swallowing and feeding: Assessment and management. An estimated 116,000 newborn infants are discharged from short-stay hospitals with a diagnosis of feeding problems, according to the. Disruptions in swallowing may occur in any or all phases of swallowing. First steps towards development of an instrument for the reproducible quantification of oropharyngeal swallow physiology in bottle-fed children. Consider the childs pulmonary status, nutritional status, overall medical condition, mobility, swallowing abilities, and cognition, in addition to the childs swallowing function and how these factors affect feeding efficiency and safety. Feeding protocols include those that consider infant cues (i.e., responsive feeding) and those that are based on a schedule (i.e., scheduled feeding). See the treatment in the school setting section below for further information. Understanding adult anatomy and physiology of the swallow provides a basis for understanding dysphagia in children, but SLPs require knowledge and skills specific to pediatric populations. Positioning infants and children for videofluroscopic swallowing function studies. Oralmotor treatments include stimulation toor actions ofthe lips, jaw, tongue, soft palate, pharynx, larynx, and respiratory muscles. The effects of TTS on swallowing have not yet been investigated in IPD. Please see the Treatment section of ASHAs Practice Portal page on Adult Dysphagia for further information. Families are encouraged to bring food and drink common to their household and utensils typically used by the child. an assessment of sucking/swallowing problems and a determination of abnormal anatomy and/or physiology that might be associated with these findings (e.g., Francis et al., 2015; Webb et al., 2013); a determination of oral feeding readiness; an assessment of the infants ability to engage in non-nutritive sucking (NNS); developmentally appropriate clinical assessments of feeding and swallowing behavior (nutritive sucking [NS]), as appropriate; an identification of additional disorders that may have an impact on feeding and swallowing; a determination of the optimal feeding method; an assessment of the duration of mealtime experience, including potential effects on oxygenation (SLP may refer to the medical team, as necessary); an assessment of issues related to fatigue and volume limitations; an assessment of the effectiveness of parent/caregiver and infant interactions for feeding and communication; and.

The infants ability to use both compression (positive pressure of the jaw and tongue on the pacifier) and suction (negative pressure created with tongue cupping and jaw movement). different positions (e.g., side feeding). PFD may be associated with oral sensory function (Goday et al., 2019) and can be characterized by one or more of the following behaviors (Arvedson, 2008): Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are the preferred providers of dysphagia services and are integral members of an interprofessional team to diagnose and manage feeding and swallowing disorders. The experimental protocol was approved by the Bioethics Committee of the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Medicine and Pharmacy Carol Davila, Bucharest, Romania (CFF05/01.04.2020), and all . SLPs treating preterm and medically fragile infants must be well versed in typical infant behavior and development so that they can recognize and interpret changes in behavior. J Rehabil Med 2009; 41: 174-178 Correspondence address: Kil-Byung Lim, Department of Reha- In their role as communication specialists, SLPs monitor the infant for stress cues and teach parents and other caregivers to recognize and interpret the infants communication signals. oversee the day-to-day implementation of the feeding and swallowing plan and any individualized education program strategies to keep the student safe from aspiration, choking, undernutrition, or dehydration while in school. 128 0 obj <> endobj xref https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijom.2015.02.014, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Infants are obligate nasal breathers, and compromised breathing may result from the placement of a flexible endoscope in one nostril when a nasogastric tube is in place in the other nostril. Le Rvrend, B. J. D., Edelson, L. R., & Loret, C. (2014). Questions to ask when developing an appropriate treatment plan within the ICF framework include the following. cal stimulation combined with thermal-tactile stimulation is a better treatment for patients with swallowing disorders af-ter stroke than thermal-tactile stimulation alone. This understanding gives the SLP the necessary knowledge to choose appropriate treatment interventions and provide rationale for their use in the NICU. Geyer, L. A., McGowan, J. S. (1995). (2002). American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. This paper reviews the method's history and selected data, outlines the theoretical underpinnings of sensory stimulation, reminds readers of what is required to bring a treatment from the laboratory to the clinic, and ends with some notions about the importance of belief and data in rehabilitation. Therefore, a large randomized clinical trial would be beneficial to clearly define the role of NMES in recovery of swallowing ability following a brain injury. National Center for Health Statistics. The ASHA Action Center welcomes questions and requests for information from members and non-members. https://doi.org/10.1044/0161-1461.3101.50, Mandich, M. B., Ritchie, S. K., & Mullett, M. (1996). Children are positioned as they are typically fed at home and in a manner that avoids spontaneous or reflex movements that could interfere with the safety of the examination. However, there are times when a prescription, referral, or medical clearance from the students primary care physician or other health care provider is indicated, such as when the student. Protocols for determining readiness for oral feeding and specific criteria for initiating feeding vary across facilities. . Prevalence of DSM-5 avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder in a pediatric gastroenterology healthcare network. The SLP who specializes in feeding and swallowing disorders typically leads the professional care team in the clinical or educational setting. Diet modifications consist of altering the viscosity, texture, temperature, portion size, or taste of a food or liquid to facilitate safety and ease of swallowing. Pediatric Feeding and Swallowing. Treatment of ankyloglossia and breastfeeding outcomes: A systematic review. Most NICUs have begun to move away from volume-driven feeding to cue-based feeding (Shaker, 2013a). Dosage refers to the frequency, intensity, and duration of service. When the quality of feeding takes priority over the quantity ingested, the infant can set the pace of feeding and have more opportunity to enjoy the experience of feeding. NNS is sucking for comfort without fluid release (e.g., with a pacifier, finger, or recently emptied breast). They were divided into two equal groups according to the rehabilitation programs they received. If a natural feeding process (e.g., position, caregiver involvement, and use of familiar foods) cannot be achieved, the results may not represent typical swallow function, and the study may need to be terminated, with results interpreted with caution. Alternative feeding does not preclude the need for feeding-related treatment. How can the childs quality of life be preserved and/or enhanced? Johnson, D. E., & Dole, K. (1999). ARFID and PFD may exist separately or concurrently. Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 19(4), 837851. Singular. This method . In the Masako, the tongue is held forward between the teeth while swallowing; this is performed without food or liquid in the mouth to prevent coughing or choking. See, for example, Moreno-Villares (2014) and Thacker et al. National Center for Health Statistics. According to IDEA, students with disabilities may receive school health and nursing as related services to address safe mealtimes regardless of their special education classification.

Tube feeding includes alternative avenues of intake such as via a nasogastric tube, a transpyloric tube (placed in the duodenum or jejunum), or a gastrostomy tube (a gastronomy tube placed in the stomach or a gastronomyjejunostomy tube placed in the jejunum). The school-based SLP and the school team (OT, PT, and school nurse) conduct the evaluation, which includes observation of the student eating a typical meal or snack. Apnea is strongly correlated with longer transition time to full oral feeding (Mandich et al., 1996). MCN: The American Journal of Maternal/Child Nursing, 41(4), 230236. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jadohealth.2013.11.013, Francis, D. O., Krishnaswami, S., & McPheeters, M. (2015). skill development for eating and drinking efficiently during meals and snack times so that students can complete these activities with their peers safely and in a timely manner. The evaluation process begins with a referral to a team of professionals within the school district who are trained in the identification and treatment of feeding and swallowing disorders. Maneuvers are strategies used to change the timing or strength of movements of swallowing (Logemann, 2000). Other benefits of KMC include temperature regulation, promotion of breastfeeding, parental empowerment and bonding, stimulation of lactation, and oral stimulation for the promotion of oral feeding ability. Nutricin Hospitalaria, 29(Suppl.

Feeding difficulties in craniofacial microsomia: A systematic review. Singular. If choosing to use electrical stimulation in the pediatric population, the primary focus should be on careful patient selection to ensure that electrical stimulation is being used only in situations where there is no possibility of inducing untoward effects. Periodic assessment and monitoring of significant changes are necessary to ensure ongoing swallow safety and adequate nutrition throughout adulthood. Taste or temperature of a food may be altered to provide additional sensory input for swallowing. participating in decisions regarding the appropriateness of these procedures; conducting the VFSS and FEES instrumental procedures; interpreting and applying data from instrumental evaluations to, determine the severity and nature of the swallowing disorder and the childs potential for safe oral feeding; and. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-7/subtitle-B/chapter-II/subchapter-A/part-210/subpart-C/section-210.10. turn their head away from the spoon to show that they have had enough.

Diet modifications should consider the nutritional needs of the child to avoid undernutrition and malnutrition. Adaptive equipment and utensils may be used with children who have feeding problems to foster independence with eating and increase swallow safety by controlling bolus size or achieving the optimal flow rate of liquids. The Journal of Perinatal & Neonatal Nursing, 29(1), 8190. The process of identifying the feeding and swallowing needs of students includes a review of the referral, interviews with the family/caregiver and teacher, and an observation of students during snack time or mealtime. Do these behaviors result in family/caregiver frustration or increased conflict during meals? Recent clinical practice survey data have supported the fact that clinicians continue to use thermo-tactile stimulation (TTS) as a strategy to stimulate key nerve pathways and evoke a swallow reflex for patients with a delayed or absent swallow reflex. Clinicians may consider the following factors when assessing feeding and swallowing disorders in the pediatric population: As infants and children grow and develop, the absolute and relative size and shape of oral and pharyngeal structures change. The prevalence rises to 14.5% in 11- to 17-year-olds with communication disorders (CDC, 2012). SLPs provide assessment and treatment to the student as well as education to parents, teachers, and other professionals who work with the student daily. Consumers should use caution regarding the use of commercial, gum-based thickeners for infants of any age (Beal et al., 2012; U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 2017). These approaches may be considered by the medical team if the childs swallowing safety and efficiency cannot reach a level of adequate function or does not adequately support nutrition and hydration. Concurrent medical issues may affect this timeline. Information from the referral, parent interview/case history, and clinical evaluation of the student is used to develop IEP goals and objectives for improved feeding and swallowing, if appropriate. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijporl.2013.03.008, Wilson, E. M., & Green, J. R. (2009). The SLP also teaches parents and other caregivers to provide positive oral experiences and to recognize and interpret the infants cues during NNS. Families may have strong beliefs about the medicinal value of some foods or liquids. International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, 33(3), 218224. The space between the tongue and the palate increases, and the larynx and the hyoid bone lower, elongating and enlarging the pharynx (Logemann, 1998). This study is aimed to investigate whether thermal oral (tongue) stimulation can modulate the cortico-pharyngeal neural motor pathway in humans. Communication Skill Builders. Instrumental evaluation is conducted following a clinical evaluation when further information is needed to determine the nature of the swallowing disorder. Members of the Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders (Dysphagia) Committee on Cross-Training included Caryn Easterling, Maureen Lefton-Greif, Paula Sullivan, Nancy Swigert, and Janet Brown (ASHA staff liaison). Some eating habits that appear to be a sign or symptom of a feeding disorder (e.g., avoiding certain foods or refusing to eat in front of others) may, in fact, be related to cultural differences in meal habits or may be symptoms of an eating disorder (National Eating Disorders Association, n.d.). complex medical conditions (e.g., heart disease, pulmonary disease, allergies, gastroesophageal reflux disease [GERD], delayed gastric emptying); factors affecting neuromuscular coordination (e.g., prematurity, low birth weight, hypotonia, hypertonia); medication side effects (e.g., lethargy, decreased appetite); sensory issues as a primary cause or secondary to limited food availability in early development (Beckett et al., 2002; Johnson & Dole, 1999); structural abnormalities (e.g., cleft lip and/or palate and other craniofacial abnormalities, laryngomalacia, tracheoesophageal fistula, esophageal atresia, choanal atresia, restrictive tethered oral tissues); educating families of children at risk for pediatric feeding and swallowing disorders; educating other professionals on the needs of children with feeding and swallowing disorders and the role of SLPs in diagnosis and management; conducting a comprehensive assessment, including clinical and instrumental evaluations as appropriate; considering culture as it pertains to food choices/habits, perception of disabilities, and beliefs about intervention (Davis-McFarland, 2008); diagnosing pediatric oral and pharyngeal swallowing disorders (dysphagia); recognizing signs of avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) and making appropriate referrals with collaborative treatment as needed; referring the patient to other professionals as needed to rule out other conditions, determine etiology, and facilitate patient access to comprehensive services; recommending a safe swallowing and feeding plan for the individualized family service plan (IFSP), individualized education program (IEP), or 504 plan; educating children and their families to prevent complications related to feeding and swallowing disorders; serving as an integral member of an interdisciplinary feeding and swallowing team; consulting and collaborating with other professionals, family members, caregivers, and others to facilitate program development and to provide supervision, evaluation, and/or expert testimony, as appropriate (see ASHAs resources on, remaining informed of research in the area of pediatric feeding and swallowing disorders while helping to advance the knowledge base related to the nature and treatment of these disorders; and.
