It is unknown if prone position affects gastric emptying and the ability of continued enteral feeding. Aim To determine tolerance of enteral feeding by measuring gastric residual volumes in enterally fed patients during supine and prone positions. Methods Consecutive mechanically ventilated intensive care patients who were turned to prone position were included. All patients were studied for 6 hours in supine position immediately followed by 6 hours in prone position or visa versa. The rate of feeding was unchanged during the study period. Gastric residual volume was measured by suctioning the naso-gastric tube after 3 and 6 hours in the same position. Wilcoxon test and regression analysis were used for analysis. Results The median volume of administered enteral feeds was 95 ml after 6 hours in supine position and 110 ml after 6 hours in prone position P 0.85 . In 10 patients a greater gastric residual volume was found in prone position. In eight others a greater volume was found in supine position. In 18 of 19 patients gastric residual volumes in both positions were 150 ml in 6 hours or 150 ml in 6
