Apnea Of Prematurity

To the Editor.— Recent letters to the Editors1,2 suggested discontinuation of clinical trials with doxapram for apnea of prematurity, because the preparation contains the preservative benzyl alcohol, implicated as the cause for the gasping syndrome at doses of 94 to 245 mg/kg/d.3 After we reexamined our standard arsenal of drugs used in the neonatal intensive care unit, we found an additional class of drugs containing benzyl alcohol: neuromuscular blocking agents. Pancuronium bromide (Pavulon, [Organon]) is prepared in 1-mg/mL vials containing 1% (10 mg/mL) benzyl alcohol.

Purpose Feeding challenges are common for infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). While sufficient oral feeding is typically a goal during NICU admission, this can be a long and complicated process for both the infant and the family. Many of the stressors related to feeding persist long after hospital discharge, which results in the parents taking the primary role of navigating the infant's course to ensure continued feeding success. This is in addition to dealing with the psychological impact of having a child requiring increased medical attention and the need to continue to fulfill the demands at home. In this clinical focus article, we examine 3 main areas that impact psychosocial stress among parents with infants in the NICU and following discharge: parenting, feeding, and supports. Implications for speech-language pathologists working with these infants and their families are discussed. A case example is also included to describe the treatment course of an infant and her parents in the NICU and after graduation to demonstrate these points further. Conclusion Speech-language pathologists working with infants in the NICU and following hospital discharge must realize the family context and psychosocial considerations that impact feeding progression. Understanding these factors may improve parental engagement to more effectively tailor treatment approaches to meet the needs of the child and family.
