The intervention group: Neurophysiologically Based Occupational Therapy Intervention (NBOTI)
This study included a pre-feeding, feeding, and postural-respiratory protocol, given per the attending physician's order. The interventions were given daily when possible, and the infants FiO2 and heart rate, along with stress behaviors, were monitored prior to, during, and after the NBOTI. The intervention included parent education for feeding, handling, and interaction with their infant, along with nursing training during the feeding session. The occupational therapy investigator partnered with the parents and when the parents were not available, she partnered with the nursing staff.
