NICU – Roles of the Speech Pathologist ASHA Guidelines1. Communication evaluation and intervention
2. Feeding and swallowing evaluation and intervention
3. Parent/caregiver education and counseling, staff ( ) d i d ll b i(team) education and collaboration
4. Other duties including quality control/risk management, discharge/transition planning and professional education and research
Key Principles ‐Family Centered Care Patient family‐centered care is an approach to health care that focuses on the family as a child’s primary source of strength primary source of strength, support and well being. The word "family" refers to two or more people who are related in any way—biologically, legally, or emotionally. Patients and families define their own families.

Key Principles ‐Developmental Care Based on work by Als
Synactive Theory of Development
Last twenty years Last twenty years
Considers environmental influence on premature infant development
Macro level – unit
Micro level – immediate surroundings
Key Principles –Culturally Appropriate Care Everyone has culture
Individual
Sensitive to i /f il lpatient/family culture
Adjust interaction/goals as appropriate
Communication Evaluation and Intervention Infants communicate their
strengths and challenges from the first day of life
The Speech Pathologist must be fluent in the language of the premature/medically fragile premature/medically fragile infant
Teach parents the language their infant is using
Teach the parents how to respond to their infant Developmentally supportive Contingent and reciprocal
Enable the parents to become the expert on their infant
7/7/2011

Feeding/Swallow Evaluation and Intervention Preparation for oral feeding begins
on the first day of life Promote and advocate for
pleasurable oral experiences for the infant
Educate family regarding oral f di d lfeeding development
Strategies to support emerging interest in oral feeding
Assess infant for readiness to initiate oral feeds
Strategies to improve coordination, support emerging skill
Aware of potential roadblocks to oral feeding
Specialized bottle/nipples Swallowing Assessment
Parent/Caregiver Education Education/support for family at the bedside
Education/support for caregivers bedside Problem Problem solving/collaboration
Participation in multidisciplinary rounds
Formal education for staff Feeding development Swallowing development Neurodevelopmentaloutcomes
Typical NICU PopulationThree general populations ‐ Healthy Preterm Infant
“Feeder Grower” Minimal medical complications Oral feeding skills emerge with maturationOral feeding skills emerge with maturation
Medically Complex Premature Infant – VLBW, ELBW Complications due to prematurity, low birth weight, anatomical abnormalities, medical course/interventions
Oral feedings skills impacted by medical course
Medically Complex Term Infant Medical diagnoses that require intensive care often impact ability to orally feed safely and/or efficiently

Sensory – none

Aspiration ‐What is it? Aspiration occurs when food or fluid enters the airway
Aspiration can be b i il tobvious or silent.
Obvious signs include coughing during or after feeding, and choking.
Silent Aspiration Silent aspiration occurs without coughing or choking. An infant that aspirates silently may continue to attempt to nipple and even be viewed as enjoying feedingfeeding.
Signs of silent aspiration may include
teary eyes while feeding
sudden loss of tone, state
increased wet vocal quality with feeding
ongoing physiological instability with feeds
sudden refusal to orally feed
More Signs of Aspiration Limited alerting for oral feeding
Refusal to eat orally or take only minimal volumes
Lack of improvement/progress in obtaining all oral f difeeding
Poor growth/weight gain
Increased supplemental oxygen need
7/7/2011
14
Primary vs Secondary Primary Aspiration
Food or liquid enters the airway
B f d i f Before, during or after swallow is initiated
Prior to food entering the esophagus
.
Aspiration Risks in the Infant Rapid blunting of pharyngeal sensation
Decreases awareness of aspiration
Creation of silent aspirator ‐may never acquire ability to coughg
Bronchiectasis ‐ permanent lung tissue damage
Aspiration Pneumonia
Pairing aversive stimuli with feeding – oral aversion
Refusal to eat sufficient volumes to support growth and development – Failure to Thrive
Poor growth – Failure to thrive
Swallowing DevelopmentSwallowing Development First coordinated motor activity
In‐utero by 15‐18 weeks A ti ll i Active swallowing amniotic fluid Regulate fluid levels Gut maturation Taste

Suck Swallow DevelopmentMouthing and suckling by 27/28 weeks
Sucking developed before the ability to coordinate swallowing and breathing Breathing not
ig
necessary in‐utero Burst/pause pattern seen at 32 weeks
Swallowing‐ Early Oral Feeding in Premature Infant 34 weeks typical age to initiate oral feeding in NICU
Sucking is typically not bl a problem ‐coordination of sucking/swallowing and breathing
Usually require external pacing
Swallowing‐ Early Oral FeedingInfant progression to full oral feeding is variable
Medical course and stability

Developmental Approach to Feeding in the NICUSpeech Language Pathologist’s Role
Parent Education and Support pp
Preparing Parent to be the expert
Modeling developmentally supportive caregiving
Staff education/support to facilitate pleasurable oral experiences
Preparation from Day One for the Parent and BabyEducation
Infant cues of readiness or approach
Infant cues of stress or avoidanceavoidance
Typical progression to full feeding
Promote holding and nuzzling, pleasurable oral experiences
Feeding Assessment
Preparation ‐ It’s a Family Affair Support Mother’s wishes breast/bottle
Encourage and foster kangaroo care/holding
Encourage and foster li h nuzzling when
appropriate Facilitate parents as primary feeders
Facilitate parents as experts on their baby
Foster contingent/reciprocal relationship
