Clinicians monitor the gastric residual volume(GRV) of critical ill patients to minimize or prevent side effect of EN.Nevertheless,recommendations about the threshold GRV in critically ill patients treated with EN are not uniform.Many recent clinical studies had demonstrated that increasing the limit of GRV was associated with the increase in the diet volume ratio of ICU patients receiving EN,and it was not associated with adverse effects in gastrointestinal complications.This review summarizes the influence factors of GRV monitoring to evaluate the feasibility and necessity of increasing the threshold of GRV.

Objective To establish standardized traceable management procedure for implanted high-value consumables in operating room.Methods The management model combining information-based system operation process and quality control process was designed,and management results before and after implementation were compared.Results There were statistically significant differences in error rates of information recording,bar code sticking and charging of implantable high-value consumables after the implementation of the process management mode (P<0.05).At the same time,there were statistically significant differences in improvement of traceability of high-value consumables,adverse event reporting and patient satisfaction(P<0.05).Conclusion Establishment of management model in operating room for implanted high-value consumables can ensure medical safety and increase medical quality.It was proved to improve the level of hospital management.
