Comparing stomach fluid left after different clear drinks in kids
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how much clear liquid is left in the stomach after children drink different measured amounts before an endoscopy. The goal is to help make anesthesia and endoscopy safer by better understanding stomach “residual volume.”
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or your child) must be 13–17 years old
- Your child must be having an elective (scheduled) upper endoscopy (EGD), not an emergency
- Your child should not have active bleeding in the upper digestive tract
- You must not have given pre-op oral medications before the procedure
- Your child should not have known or suspected stomach/esophagus problems like GERD, achalasia, or gastroparesis

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 looks at how quickly the stomach empties in intensive care patients who are on a breathing machine and receiving liquid nutrition through a tube. It aims to understand and possibly improve feeding tolerance in these patients.
This trial tests whether drinking small amounts of clear fluids up until surgery is safe for women having a planned c-section. It uses an ultrasound to check the stomach before the procedure.
This study measures how quickly a baby’s stomach empties after formula feeding. It may help doctors better understand normal digestion timing in newborns and infants.
This study looks at whether how long children fast before an upper endoscopy (a camera look at the stomach) affects how much food or liquid is left in the stomach during the test. It uses existing medical records, so you don't need to do anything new.
This study tests whether drinking only clear liquids before an upper endoscopy can reduce leftover stomach contents in people taking GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic or Mounjaro). It may help make the procedure safer.
