GASTRIC-PICU: Study on the usefulness of measuring gastric residual volume in children in intensive care
Descrizione riassuntiva dello studio
In our research project, we want to find out whether routine measurements of gastric contents in children are necessary or not. Children in intensive care and on mechanical ventilation often struggle to take in even half of the required calories (through food). An adequate caloric intake for a sick child is important so that he/she has enough energy for breathing and recovery. Currently, the gastric residual volume is regularly measured in every child. As soon as this gastric residual shows an abnormal amount or color, the staff may, after consultation, reduce or stop feeding. This could be a reason why these children do not receive sufficient calories.

Intervento studiato
When participating in the study, the child will be randomly assigned to one of two groups:
• No measurement of gastric residual volume (GRV) (intervention group)
• Standard measurement of GRV (comparison group)
The rest of the child's treatment will not be influenced by the study. Care continues according to the therapeutic guidelines of the treating medical and nursing team.

Malattie studiate
We want to know if measuring gastric residual volume affects ventilation and if caloric intake can be increased.
(BASEC)
Children and adolescents who can be included in this study must meet the following criteria: o Patient in intensive care o Already mechanically ventilated or expected intubation o Age 0-16 years o Intention to start or already started feeding via gastric tube or PEG. (BASEC)
Criteri di esclusione
Children and adolescents cannot participate in this study if the following applies to them: • Already a patient in intensive care for more than 24 hours • Postpyloric feeding tubes or jejunostomy • Palliative patients • Children/adolescents with long-term invasive mechanical ventilation • Current or recently occurred intestinal disease or surgery (e.g., necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), active gastrointestinal bleeding, or intestinal surgery) • Participated in the GASTRIC-PICU study in the last six months.
