Nonoperative management of blunt hepatic trauma.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Gastric residual volume in ventilated critically ill may complicate gut function. Over the years studies suggested to tolerate progressively higher residuals. The relationship between such volumes and the development of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is still under debate. No reports deal with the rel...
