endobj xref No differences occurred, however, in hospital stay or in postconceptual age when all oral feedings were achieved.77 Researchers affirmed in 2 recent RCTs that oral-facial stimulation did not decrease the postconceptual age at which infants attained a daily schedule of all oral feedings.78,79 In contrast, a 2005 Cochrane review panel80 analyzed evidence from 21 studies, including 15 RCTs, and found nonnutritive sucking with a pacifier before, during, or after gavage or bottle feedings to significantly decrease length of hospital stay and to improve feeding behavior (decreased defensive or fussy behavior during and after feeding). Part 1: Practice scope, scientific foundations, and theory. If attempts are continued, with time, this may result in an excessively extended posture. In a crossover design, 20 infants were randomly given a fast-flowing (cross-cut) nipple or a standard-flowing, single-hole nipple.82 When fed with the faster flowing nipple, infants were less efficient, took longer to feed, consumed less volume, and had higher respiratory rates than when fed with a single-hole nipple.

Part 1: Clinical competencies and NICU clinical training models. In an updated statement, the American Academy of Pediatrics advised that all infants transition to the supine sleeping position by hospital discharge and encouraged detailed discharge instruction on sudden infant death syndrome prevention including supine sleeping without soft bedding.64 The evidence in these practice guidelines relating to prone sleeping position and use of nests or blanket rolls may not be appropriate for infants approaching discharge.62,65–68, Although physiologic benefits contribute to the frequent use of the prone position in the NICU, neonates may develop “flat” trunks, hyperextended and excessively rotated cervical spines, and abducted hips when lying in the prone position, which may contribute to prolonged atypical postures in infancy.69 Clinicians frequently modify the prone position to improve posture while retaining physiologic benefits.

Two small studies advocated use of body positioning “nests” to encourage flexion of the extremities and midline head position.62,66 In a pilot study of 10 infants, smooth, midline movements of the extremities were observed when infants were in a supine nest with extremity flexion support compared with the supine position without the nest.62 Although this study provided preliminary evidence that flexed, supine positioning provided opportunities for practicing flexed, midline motor patterns commonly seen in infants born at term gestation, no follow-up observations of the neonates were reported regarding effects on movement after the nest was discontinued.62 Varied positioning including supine, prone, and side-lying positions has been found to reduce the negative consequences that may arise from infants remaining in a single position.65,68, Swaddling with hands to mouth and lower extremity flexion while the infant is positioned in prone, supine, or side lying has been reported to improve neuromuscular development at 34 weeks post-conception.70. These systematic observations are the base for the Newborn Individualized Care and Development Program (NIDCAP) developed by Als9,10 and for her program of NIDCAP outcomes research on NICU developmental care.11–14.

This literature overview and evidence-based recommendations are intended for all service delivery models used by the PTs in NICU settings. Passive range of motion in the extremities has been advocated as an intervention to increase bone mineral density; however, a recent Cochrane review of 6 RCTs found only a small, transient increase in weight gain and bone mineral density immediately after a protocol of passive range of motion to multiple joints in all extremities 5 times per week for 3 to 4 weeks with no difference reported at 12 months of age.71 The Cochrane review panel concluded that this evidence was insufficient for implementing range of motion in infant born preterm to improve bone density and weight gain.71. Edelman6 hypothesized that when the brain is in unusual sensory circumstances, events of brain development are modified such as (1) preservation of cells that otherwise would be eliminated, (2) elimination of cells that otherwise would be preserved, (3) modification of dendritic and axonal pruning events, and (4) changes in connectivity (synapses).

Learn More Helping parents understand and respond to infant cues is considered critical to helping them maintain their roles as parents and mitigate levels of stress and depression.16,42–46 Developmentally appropriate interventions that focus on helping parents read infant cues, enhance parent-child interactions, and support the parent-child relationship are reported to improve developmental outcome and enhance the child's cognitive and socioemotional development.47–51 Neonatal PTs have a responsibility to individualize their approach and intervention strategies to meet the unique needs of the infant and family with respect to ensuring that family members acquire confidence and skill in movement and postural management with their infant related to holding, carrying, feeding, and dressing. Early interactions not only create a context but also directly affect the way the brain is “wired.”31 Because each infant has unique brain maturational levels at the time of birth, the same extrauterine environment and caregiving experiences may have different effects on brain structure. 7. 0000083422 00000 n The 2 contextual factors in Figure 3 are environmental (external influence on function) and personal (internal influence on function).

This resource list is a starting point before working with a mentor in the specialized area of neonatal physical therapy practice. Neonatal massage as a single modality has been advocated to reduce stress levels and improve infant-parent attachment in the NICU environment86; however, a 2004 Cochrane review of massage in neonates stressed the need for additional research before integration of massage into routine care.87 Supporting an infant's body with hand swaddling (facilitated body tuck) without massage88 and skin-to-skin holding by parents89 provide human touch and are less likely to contribute to potential overstimulation in neonates who are vulnerable.90 Similarly, the Cochrane review on the efficacy of chest physical therapy with neonates indicated that additional research was required before inclusion into routine neonatal care related to reported adverse effects of bruising, rib fractures, and intracranial lesions.91. Schulzke SM, Trachsel D, Patole SK. The scope of the ICF framework and emphases on context and function can guide neonatal therapists in visualizing the complexity of the infant's internal and external environment and in anticipating how neonatal therapy procedures will support or overload infant and family functioning. Because infants born preterm are exposed to excessive overhead light, loud noises, and noxious procedures in intensive care environments, techniques to limit the consequences of negative stimuli are often included in developmental care plans,51 and provision of positive sensory experiences (tactile, vestibular, auditory, and visual) has been encouraged in some settings. Building parent and professional partnerships and adapting the care and teaching to family priorities, learning styles, emotional stresses, and cultural variables are essential considerations for making interventions effective.36 Centering neonatal physical therapy care on family needs requires understanding and empathy for the complex stresses and losses parents are experiencing as they cope with new roles as parents of medically fragile infants in the NICU environment.

Part 1: Practice scope, scientific foundations, and theory. If attempts are continued, with time, this may result in an excessively extended posture. In a crossover design, 20 infants were randomly given a fast-flowing (cross-cut) nipple or a standard-flowing, single-hole nipple.82 When fed with the faster flowing nipple, infants were less efficient, took longer to feed, consumed less volume, and had higher respiratory rates than when fed with a single-hole nipple.

Part 1: Clinical competencies and NICU clinical training models. In an updated statement, the American Academy of Pediatrics advised that all infants transition to the supine sleeping position by hospital discharge and encouraged detailed discharge instruction on sudden infant death syndrome prevention including supine sleeping without soft bedding.64 The evidence in these practice guidelines relating to prone sleeping position and use of nests or blanket rolls may not be appropriate for infants approaching discharge.62,65–68, Although physiologic benefits contribute to the frequent use of the prone position in the NICU, neonates may develop “flat” trunks, hyperextended and excessively rotated cervical spines, and abducted hips when lying in the prone position, which may contribute to prolonged atypical postures in infancy.69 Clinicians frequently modify the prone position to improve posture while retaining physiologic benefits.

Two small studies advocated use of body positioning “nests” to encourage flexion of the extremities and midline head position.62,66 In a pilot study of 10 infants, smooth, midline movements of the extremities were observed when infants were in a supine nest with extremity flexion support compared with the supine position without the nest.62 Although this study provided preliminary evidence that flexed, supine positioning provided opportunities for practicing flexed, midline motor patterns commonly seen in infants born at term gestation, no follow-up observations of the neonates were reported regarding effects on movement after the nest was discontinued.62 Varied positioning including supine, prone, and side-lying positions has been found to reduce the negative consequences that may arise from infants remaining in a single position.65,68, Swaddling with hands to mouth and lower extremity flexion while the infant is positioned in prone, supine, or side lying has been reported to improve neuromuscular development at 34 weeks post-conception.70. These systematic observations are the base for the Newborn Individualized Care and Development Program (NIDCAP) developed by Als9,10 and for her program of NIDCAP outcomes research on NICU developmental care.11–14.
