NCT06062381 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: GRV RCT 001
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 34
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The goals of this randomized controlled trial are:

1. 1.To determine the mean gastric residual volume in ICU admitted adult patients before and after intervention.
2. 2.To compare the gastric residual volume between the intervention and control group.

Conditions

Gastric Retention

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Gastric Residual Volume

  Gastric residual volume will be measured in ml by aspiration of gastric contents.

  before and after intervention ( 3 hours duration)

Study Arms (2)

Intervention Group

EXPERIMENTAL

experimental group will receive abdominal massage of 20 minutes duration for 3 days.

Procedure: Abdominal Massage

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

control group will receive only routine care

Interventions

Abdominal Massage PROCEDURE

The intervention period will be 3 days for intervention group. These patients will receive 20 minutes of abdominal massage twice a day, and the interval between two massages will be 2 hours. The outcome variable variable gastric residual volume will be measured every day, before the intervention and 1 hour after the second massage. the GRV will be measured in ml (via feeding syringe) and marked on checklist. The abdominal massage technique will consist of five steps based on tensegrity principle. The lubricant gel will be used to facilitate the massaging. The patient's position will be supine while going through abdominal massage. The angle between the bed and the patient's head will be 30 to 45 degrees, and the patient's legs will be placed on a pillow. This condition will help to relax the abdominal muscles.
