Objective　 To observe the clinical effect of swallowing dysfunction training on neonates with swallowing disorder. Methods　 We selected 140 cases of pediatric NICU ward in March 2018 to July 2018, randomly divided them into intervention group and control group, each group had totally 70 cases, there were 44 male cases, 26 female cases, 17 full term cases, 53 premature cases in the intervention group, and there were 41 male cases, 29 female cases, 14 full term cases, 56 premature cases in the control group, from start until discharged into the group, the intervention group accepted the basis of conventional treatment, and received swallowing function training by rehabilitative therapist at the same time, Weight gain (g), total milk volume amount of increase, oral feeding volume amount of increase (mL), indwelling gastric tube time (d), and total hospital stay time (d)were observed. Results　 For patients in the intervention group and control group respectively, the weight were (1 990±632) g and (1 879±581) g in the begining, the weight of the two groups after treatment, respectively were (2 538±521) g and (2 496±394) g, there was no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05), while the intervention group's total milk supply growth were (23.41±8.67) mL, feeding by mouth growth were (17.18±4.63) mL, were significantly higher than control group in total growth in milk production (19.58±8.85) mL, feeding by mouth growth for (15.11±4.79) mL, in the same way, The duration of gastric tube indwentment were (8.45±10.69) d and the total length of hospital stay were (18.75±12.75) d in the intervention group were shorter than those in the control group (14.18±15.65) d and the total length of hospital stay (23.97±13.57) d, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion　 Deglutition training for newborns with dysphagia can increase milk volume, shorten the duration of indwelling gastric tube and hospital stay, but has no obvious effect on weight gain.
