Conditions
Keywords
Enteral feeding intolerance, Gastric antral area
Brief summary
The objective of the BOCUSE study is to demonstrate a relationship between an early ultrasound measurement of the gastric antral area and the subsequent occurrence of poor gastric tolerance.
Interventions
Gastric ultrasound with measurement of the antral area
