Abstract
Using the lower threshold of 7 mm Hg compared to 20 mm Hg resulted in more sucks detected while consistently measuring improvement in sucking over time. Detection of more sucks and sucks at a lower pressure threshold allows clinicians and researchers to more accurately assess oral feeding skills among premature infants.
