Omitting evaluation of gastric residual contents prior to feeding very premature infants will increase the feeding intake at 2 weeks, and total caloric intake and growth by 3 weeks, as well as decrease the time required for parenteral nutrition.
Infants were randomized into 2 groups. Group 1 had no gastric residuals evaluated prior to feeding. Group 2 had gastric residuals evaluated prior to feeding. Nutritional outcomes were compared between groups.
