Part I (only one group, no control):(1) The whole process was operated by two doctors or nurses who had obtained the qualification of China critical care ultrasound research group (ccusg)
(2) First, an operator placed the child in the supine position, raised the head of the bed by 30 °, and measured the CSA in the supine position according to the antral ultrasound measurement standard
(3) Then put the child in the right lateral decubitus position, measure the CSA of the right lateral decubitus position (keep the action unchanged after measurement), and another operator uses a syrin
Part II (observation group):Ultrasound was applied to monitor the gastric remnant, and the threshold was set at 50% of the last feeding amount (1) If GRV < threshold, feeding volume or feeding speed c
(2) If there is a single GRV = threshold or other gastrointestinal symptoms, notify the doctor and follow the doctor's advice. ? If GRV = threshold but without gastrointestinal complications, the orig
