Abstract: Introduction Surgical repair of congenital heart disease in the first years of life compromises the coordination of the suction, breathing, and swallowing functions. Objective To describe the alterations in swallowing found in infants with congenital heart defect during their hospitalization. Methods Prospective, cross-sectional study in a reference hospital for heart disease. The sample consisted of 19 postsurgical patients who underwent an evaluation of swallowing. The infants included were younger than 7 mo… Show more

“…The underweight can be caused by feeding problems such as inadequate nutritional intake or absorption, feeding difficulty, excessive energy expenditure, frequent respiratory infections, limitation of growth potential, and genetic syndromes [15]. The feeding difficulty in CHD infants can be linked to oropharyngeal dysphagia [24]. Moreover, these feeding and language problems also can be linked to the immaturity of brain development proven by the incomplete closure of the cerebral opercula, which is the sensory-motor cortical representation of buccal, glottis, and esophageal structures, as well as receptive and expressive language [20].…”

“…The dysphagia seen in infants with CHD is similar to that of premature infants, particularly lack of suck-swallow-breathe coordination (Pereira Kda et al, 2015). Though there is little data available on the use of oral motor intervention in infants born at or later than 37 weeks gestation, efficacy of oral motor intervention has been demonstrated in preterm infants.…”

“…A further, but not infrequent, complication in the relationship between swallowing and respiration occurs as a result of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury. Iatrogenic RLN damage results in variable degrees of dysphagia severity and recovery [12, 16, 45, 54, 57]. In neonates in particular, RLN damage occurs subsequent to patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) ligation surgery [50, 52].…”
