Protocol for a Randomized Clinical Trial to Evaluate Not Routinely Measuring Gastric Residual Volume to Guide Enteral Feeding Versus Routine Measurement in Mechanically Ventilated Critically Ill Children (GASTRIC-PICU)

Key Points

To assess the impact of not routinely measuring gastric residual volume on enteral feeding in mechanically ventilated critically ill children.
Conducting a randomized clinical trial
Comparing routine measurement of gastric residual volume versus no measurement
Involving critically ill children who are mechanically ventilated
Trial findings will inform whether routine measurement impacts feeding outcomes
Results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and conferences

Randomized clinical trial evaluates gastric residual volume measurement in critically ill children, suggesting its impact on feeding practices.
