Abstract: Although early enteral feeding is a primary recommendation for critically ill patients, it may be considered a risk factor for high gastric residual volume, vomiting and abdominal distension that may indicate feeding intolerance. Abdominal massage is a nursing intervention that has been found to increase Serotonin level, vagal activity and gastric motility and hence reduce feeding intolerance. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of selected nursing intervention (abdominal massage) on clinical outcomes among patients with nasogastric tube in Intensive Care Units. Subjects: A purposive sample of all available adult patients (70) with nasogastric tube and meet the inclusion criteria. Setting: The study was conducted at four intensive care units of Menoufia University hospital. Tools of the study: Two tools were utilized for data collection as follow; Tool I: Structural interviewing questionnaire and Tool II: Biophysiological measurement............
