DEFINING PHARYNGEAL CONTRACTILE INTEGRAL DURING HIGH RESOLUTION MANOMETRY IN NEONATES: A NEUROMOTOR MARKER OF PHARYNGEAL VIGOR

BACKGROUND: Pharyngeal contractility is critical for safe bolus propulsion. Pharyngeal contractile vigor can be measured by Pharyngeal Contractile Integral (PhCI): product of mean pharyngeal contractile amplitude, length, and duration. We characterized PhCI in neonates and examined the hypothesis th...
