- Brief Summary
Nutritionalstatus is an important factor in maintaining the health and healing process,especially in critically ill patients during mechanical ventilation. It isbelieved that nutritional support is a key intervention in caring for patientsadmitted to intensive care units (ICU). (1)Therefore, abdominal massage help in improvingnutrition by relaxing the abdomen, decreasing the gastric residual volume(GRV), and increasing gut motility.
The present study aimed to find the effect of Abdominal Massage on the Gastric Residual Volume (GRV) among Patients with Nasogastric (NG) Tube Feeding Admitted in Intensive Care Units (ICU).
