Official title
Efficacy of Sensorimotor Stimulation on Oral Feeding Skills for Neonates Post Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Overview
Background: Perinatal asphyxia and the resulting hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) are significant causes of irreversible adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in children. Neonates and infants with HIE commonly experience difficulties in learning the oromotor skills of sucking, swallowing, and breathing. These feeding problems can lead to severe complications such as weight loss, dehydration, malnutrition, and developmental deficits. Objective: The study aims to assess the efficacy of sensorimotor stimulation intervention on oral skills in neonates with post-hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods: The study will include thirty infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. They will be divided into two equal groups: The study group receive traditional medical treatment as well as a sensorimotor stimulation program, whereas the control group receive only traditional medical treatment
Interventions
- Other sensorimotor stimulation program sessions
The study group, consisting of 15 neonates, received traditional medical treatment along with sensorimotor stimulation program sessions. These sessions included oral stimulation protocol, Tactile/Kinesthetic (T/K) intervention, feeding position, and oral support.
Primary outcome measures
- Transition time from tube to full oral feeding [Time frame: - At least one-time breast feeding in a 24-hour period (Fucile et al., 2013). - Consuming eight feedings per day for two consecutive days. - Capable of consuming orally over 80% of the recommended total fluid intake within a 24-hour period (Premji et]
- Time taken to accomplish exclusive oral feeding [Time frame: At least one-time breast feeding in a 24-hour period (Fucile et al., 2013). - Consuming eight feedings per day for two consecutive days. - Capable of consuming orally over 80% of the recommended total fluid intake within a 24-hour period (Premji et a]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Total hospital stay [Time frame: At least one-time breast feeding in a 24-hour period (Fucile et al., 2013). - Consuming eight feedings per day for two consecutive days. - Capable of consuming orally over 80% of the recommended total fluid intake within a 24-hour period]
