Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine if stopping routine gastric residual volume (GRV) assessments would help preterm infants reach full feeding volumes faster.
- A total of 80 infants were involved, with 39 assessed for GRV and 41 not assessed. The results indicated no significant difference in the time it took to achieve full feeding between both groups (12 days vs. 13 days).
- The conclusion was that eliminating GRV assessments did not lead to quicker attainment of full enteral feeds for preterm infants in the NICU.
