- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Decreased time to progression of nasogastric tube feeding to oral feeding in the group that underwent speech therapy: assessment, guidelines (patient positioning, oral hygiene, volume, flavor and food temperature; utensils used for food), therapeutic techniques (maneuvers of airway protection and glottal cleaning) oromiofuncionais and vocal exercises (3 sets of 10 repetitions for the chosen exercise) and introducing diet.<br>It is expected that the results of the Treated Group and Control Group are different depending on of the realization of speech therapy.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method We verified the effectiveness of speech therapy through FOIS scale (scale of functional oral intake), to demonstrate the safe progression of diet dependent alternative pathway (nasoenteric tube) to the oral route. We saw that the Treaty Group reached levels regarding the oral routh (between 4 and 7) and this increase was in fewer days compared to the control group.
