This study tests whether ultrasound scans of the stomach before surgery help keep children safe during anesthesia. Researchers will measure how full the stomach is to make sure children are ready for surgery.
This trial tests whether a bedside ultrasound can measure how full the stomach is in patients on a breathing machine who are receiving liquid nutrition through a tube. If it works, doctors may avoid complications and feed patients more safely.
This trial studies how the stomach is working in children around the time of surgery. It may help improve how doctors assess and manage stomach function to make surgery safer and more comfortable.
This study uses ultrasound to measure stomach contents in pregnant women who are at high risk and have reached full term. The goal is to help doctors better understand and manage the risk of aspiration (stomach contents entering the lungs) during delivery.
This trial studies using an ultrasound scan of the stomach before general anesthesia in children having planned (elective) surgery. The goal is to better understand stomach fullness and improve safety around anesthesia.
This study tests whether a quick ultrasound of the stomach can help doctors make safer decisions for children coming in for emergency surgery after an injury. If your child is having surgery soon, this scan may help tailor anesthesia care.
