Journal Article
volume measurement. Nursing in Critical Care, 22(5), 293-297. https://doi.org/10.1111/nicc.12304

Background: Measuring gastric residual volume (GRV) to guide enteral feeding is a common nursing practice in intensive care units, yet little evidence supports this practice. In addition, this practice has been shown to potentially contribute to ina... Read More about Paediatric intensive care nurses’ decision-making around gastric residual volume measurement.
