- Abstract
Prematurity is one of the most prevalent factors in children's hospital. The speech therapy performed in hospitals focusing on premature newborn has gained more space. This intervention had as main purpose the detection of problems related with feeding and provides solutions to newborns that use enteral tubes due to organic immaturity. The use of techniques has been exploited aiming the maturation of oral sensorimotor system in a more accelerated way, besides a safe transition to full oral feeding. The purpose of this study is to conduct a systematic review of national and international literature in order to list the different techniques and elucidate their effectiveness to the maturation of oral sensorimotor system in preterm neonates who remain in hospital. According to the literature, the most used techniques in Brazil were the non-nutritive sucking with minimal gloved finger or orthodontic pacifier. In other countries, the most cited techniques were non-nutritive sucking on pacifier and stimulation of the oral sensorimotor system. The techniques used in Brazil and abroad have reflected positively on the development of oral functions of neonates. Taking into account the need to promote exclusive breastfeeding, recent publications have shown alarming and disturbing percentage of use of synthetic nozzles for stimulation in neonatal intensive care.
