I work in a Level III NICU and would like to know what happens in
other units regarding the above topics. Do all prems need suck/swallow
assessments by an OT? Should a stethoscope be placed on an infant's neck
while it is attempting to breastfeed? What are the advantages/disadvantages
of oral stim for all prems using Q-tips dipped in breastmilk? Should this
latter procedure be restricted to certain infants?
I would appreciate all comments, but am presently set at NOMAIL, so
please send your comments directly to my e-mail address
([log in to unmask]).
Thanks,
Elizabeth Burgess-Pinto
