Gastric Residual Volume Measurement in the Intensive Care Unit

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Preventing Malnutrition
• Interventions: Other: Gastric residual volume measurement stopped.

• Registration Number: NCT05238051
• Lead Sponsor: Erzi̇ncan Binali Yildirim Uni̇versi̇tesi̇

Brief Summary

Nutritional support is considered a key component of the treatment strategy for intensive care patients. Malnutrition, energy protein, and inadequate or excessive intake of other nutrients have measurable effects on tissues, body structure, body function, and clinical outcomes of patients receiving treatment. It increases hospital-acquired infections, hospitalizations, and intensive care prolongs and leads to complications. This study aimed to observe the time to reach target calories, nutritional failures, and complications during feeding in measured and unmeasured gastric residual volume patients receiving enteral nutrition under ventilation in the intensive care unite.
