O-042 Gastric Residuals In Preterm Infants As Predictor Of Tolerance To Early Enteral Feeds (grip Trial)
Abstract
Evidence is inconsistent to support checking gastric residual volumes (GRv) in predicting feeding intolerance in preterm infants. GRv remains standard practice in guiding feeding advancement in several neonatal centres. We hypothesises that this practice delays establishment of full enteral feeding with associated complications. The effect on time to reach full feeds (120 ml/k/day) with not checking GRv in advancing feeds in preterm infants. …
