Position infant with HOB up on back or side after feedings. Limit feedings to 20-30 minutes and watch for a pattern of sucking and swallowing.
Post-op interventions for cleft palate/lip Correct Answer-Position supine
or position side-lying on the side opposite the surgery. Nothing in mouth
for 7-10 days. Elbow immobilizers to prevent rubbing the surgical site.
ESSR feeding technique Correct Answer-Enlarge the nipple. Stimulate the suck reflex. Swallow fluid appropriately. Rest when infant signals with facial expression.
What does the ESSR feeding technique do? Correct Answer-It significantly increases the weight of a child with cleft lip/palate before surgery and gives them time to develop their own rhythm of sucking, swallowing, and resting.
What are the 2 goals of pre-op care for a child with cleft palate/lip? Correct Answer-Maintain nutrition and prevent aspiration.
Esophageal atresia Correct Answer-Esophagus doesn't go into the stomach. Key sign is drooling. Tracheoesophageal fistula Correct Answer-Abnormal connection between the esophagus and the trachea. Key signs are coughing, choking, and cyanosis.
