Gastric Residual Volume Assessment in Critically Ill Children: The GASTRIC-PICU Randomized Clinical Trial.
The GASTRIC-PICU trial evaluated the impact of routine gastric residual volume (GRV) assessment on enteral feeding in critically ill children.
Why it matters
This study challenges the routine practice of GRV assessment in critically ill children, suggesting that it may not be necessary and could hinder nutritional delivery.
