Objective To explore the effectiveness of swallowing function training on oral feeding performances in premature infants. Methods According to the simple randomized grouping method,140 cases of premature infants were divided into 2 groups,65 cases in the loss of final intervention group,and 69 cases in control group,the intervention group received swallowing function training every day,until stopping tube feeding.The control group received NICU routine nursing care,including intermittent feeding,support position,etc.The postmenstrual age(PMA)of the two groups were recorded when started oral feeding and completely oral feeding.Moreover,feed efficiency was observed at the two time points,weight was recorded every day,weight growth rate was calculated. Results The PMA and weight of the intervention group which through oral feeding completely were significantly less than those of the control group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Compared the transition time of the two groups from the initiation of oral feeding to full oral feeding,the intervention group's use time was shorter than that of the control group obviously,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The feeding efficiency in the intervention group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05).The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).There were no significant differences in the length of hospital stay and weight gain rate between the two groups. Conclusion Early swallowing function training is beneficial for the oral feeding in preterm infant.
