[Measurement of residual gastric volume: in search of better evidence].
INTRODUCTION Measurement of residual gastric volume is a frequent practice in chronic patients, but there is lack of consensus on the convenience of reintroducing or discarding aspirated gastric content (AGC). OBJECTIVE Determine the grade of scientific evidence on the efficacy of two interventions -reintroduction/rejection- of AGC in chronic patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Systematic review...
متن کاملComparison of Effect of Prone and Right Lateral Positions on Gastric Residual Volume in Preterm Newborns
Background: Nutritional problems in premature newborns are of great importance for their development. In this regard, the neonatal positioning during and after feeding can have a significant effect on their nutritional tolerance. Therefore, the present study was conducted to compare the effect of two positions (i.e., prone and right lateral) on gastric residual volume ...
متن کاملGastric residual volume: end of an era.
GASTRIC DYSMOTILITY IS COMMON IN CRITICALLY ILL patients. The pathophysiology is multifactorial including the severity and etiology of the underlying critical illness, use of narcotic analgesia and other sedatives, decreased blood flow from shock, and use of vasopressors. Gastric dysmotility results in delayed gastric emptying that may place patients at risk of developing complications such as ...
متن کاملResidual volume measurement should be retained in enteral feeding protocols.
I n a study reported in this issue, O’Meara and colleagues provide evidence that underfeeding via the enteral route is a serious problem in critically ill patients. Although other researchers have reported similar findings, these researchers provide an opportunity to consider where changes could have been made to alleviate the problem. In their observational study, O’Meara and colleagues found ...
متن کاملCALCULATION OF RESIDUAL VOLUME BY SPIROMETRIC DATA
ABSTRACT Background: The current practice to measure RV is either by BPG or helium dilution methods which may not be available in all clinics due to their cost. Methods: This paper outlines a method for both direct and indirect calculation of RV via PFT with acceptable sensitivity (81 %, 60% ), specificity (71 %, 94%) and validity (76%, 78%) for obstructive and restrictive lung disease respect...
