Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Oral feeding of neonates while on nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) is a common practice in many neonatal intensive care units (NICU) all over the country. However the safety of such practice has never been established. The Investigators hypothesize that mechanoreceptors, which should perceive sensory input from the liquid bolus, may be altered by the reception of pressurized airflow provided by the NCPAP, hence increase risk of aspiration. In this study, changes in the pharyngeal phase of swallowing were identified using video fluoroscopic swallow studies (VFSS) for infants while on NCPAP as compared to off NCPAP.
