NCT06395298

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is assess whether the application of the premature oral motor intervention (PIOMI) combined with the Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program (NIDCAP), allows withdrawal of the external feeding device with guarantees of the patient's nutritional status, determining breastfeeding rates at hospital discharge and swallowing safety earlier than if only the care activity corresponding to the NIDCAP model is carried out, as well as the applicability of this standardised protocol in the neonatal intensive care unit of a tertiary hospital.

The Premature Oral Motor Intervention (PIOMI) .The family will apply the PIOMI , 7 activities are intraoral stimulation for 10 consecutive days, twice a day, 5 minutes. 3. Gustatory stimulation technique:the application of oropharyngeal colostrum, a 0.5 milliliter twice a day 4. Olfactory stimulation Technique:A swab is moistened in breast milk and placed near the nose for one minute, twice a day.

Eligibility Criteria

Age29 Weeks - 30 Weeks
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17)

You may qualify if:

  • Neonates born at the Sant Joan de Déu Hospital with a gestational age between 29-30 weeks carrying an external feeding device due to the difficulty of oral feeding and that the medical team in charge considers clinically stable.

You may not qualify if:

  • Endotracheal intubation or high-flow ventilatory support.
  • Exclusive parenteral nutrition.
  • Hyporeactive due to the use of sedative drugs.
  • Condition of prematurity associated with other pathologies (syndromes, acquired brain damage, gastrointestinal malformations, airway and craniofacial malformations).

Masking Details
* Masking: Double blind * Masking methodology: The Sant Joan de Déu Hospital Neonatal Unit carries out its care activity under the NIDCAP model, which includes care centered on the user and the family/mother or caregiver. Currently, the design of the neonatal unit has individual boxes for the family member, which will allow the intervention to be carried out, as well as the orientations carried out by the health personnel with privacy and thus avoiding the identification of the different intervention models. For the realization of the blind, it is proposed to make two video capsules in which the activities to be carried out will be collected, both by the control group and the experimental group, interspersing in the case of the experimental the PIOMI activities with the basic nursing care without doing reference to the intervention model assigned in the recording. Access to the video will be in quick response code format.
