Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to see if cold liquids improve the swallowing mechanisms in premature infants with swallowing difficulties (dysphagia). The only way to objectively diagnose dysphagia is by having that infant undergo a Video Fluoroscopic Swallow Study (VFSS), which allows direct visualization of the liquid bolus (barium) in real time. Infants suspected of having dysphagia and who are referred for a VFSS will be recruited for this study. Once consented, the infant will undergo a standard VFSS. If that infant is diagnosed with dysphagia, the study protocol will begin by keeping the infant the same position and feeding them cold liquid barium from an identical bottle. A total of 5 swallows will be visualized, which adds approximately 5-10 seconds to the study. Both the standard swallows and the study swallows will be recorded for analysis and comparison. It is hypothesized that the study swallows will have less deficits than the standard swallows. If an infant's standard VFSS does not indicate dysphagia, that infant will no longer be eligible for this study.
