Measurement of gastric residual volume: state of the science
Abstract
This literature review substantiates that there is confusion regarding what constitutes excessive gastric residual volume in adult tube-fed patients. Only one research study regarding gastric residuals was located; it indicated that 200 ml for a nasogastric tube and 100 ml for a gastrostomy tube should cause concern. The implications of these findings for adult-health nurses are discussed.
