| Abstract: | Some children with cerebral palsy and severe feeding impairment experience pulmonary complications from aspiration and gastroesophageal reflux. This exploratory study examined whether pulmonary function would improve following one year of intervention with optimal positioning for feeding, control of gastroesophageal reflux and use of food textures that would minimize aspiration from swallowing. Two children showed a 28% and 45% improvement, respectively, in functional residual capacity. One child experienced a 37% improvement in total respiratory resistance and a 284% improvement in respiratory compliance. All children gained sufficient weight to maintain their growth trajectories but only one who was changed from oral to tube feeding due to aspiration showed catch-up growth in length. One child showed pathological gastroesophageal reflux that was controlled medically throughout the study period. Although all children experienced pulmonary illnesses during the one year of follow up, control of aspiration permitted a clinically significant improvement of their pulmonary obstructive syndrome. Further study is needed to more fully determine the effect of this treatment approach on pulmonary function. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
