Point-of-care ultrasound estimation of gastric residual volume in preterm infants: development of a calculation model
The use of ultrasound to assess gastric residual volume (GRV) offers a promising alternative to gastric tube suction, potentially reducing associated complications and enhancing enteral nutrition management in preterm infants. Our study represents a pioneering effort in the development of a point-of-care ultrasound-based calculation model for non-invasive GRV assessment in this vulnerable population.
