Oral feeding practices in medically complex infants receiving prolonged high‐flow nasal cannula support: A retrospective cohort study
This study demonstrates variability in oral feeding management in infants with prolonged HFNC-dependence at our centre. Respiratory support with HFNC was identified as a barrier to progressing oral feeding. Further research is required to determine if oral feeding can be safely undertaken in this cohort. This is imperative to ensure that long-term feeding outcomes are not negatively impacted by current practice.
