Ultrasound before anesthesia to reduce stomach risks
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 0 to 18 years
- You (or your child) are having planned elective surgery
- The surgery will use general anesthesia (fully asleep)
- You can follow your hospital’s fasting instructions before surgery
- Your fasting schedule follows the institution’s rules (no extra food or drinks)

This trial tests using an ultrasound scan to estimate stomach fluid and volume in ICU patients. It may help clinicians better assess aspiration risk and prepare for safe anesthesia or procedures.
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 study uses an ultrasound to look at the stomach contents of pregnant women before a planned cesarean section. It may help improve safety during surgery.
This trial uses an ultrasound (a safe, painless scan using sound waves) on the stomach before and after bariatric surgery to better understand how the stomach changes. It may help improve care for future patients.
This study uses an ultrasound to check if your stomach empties normally before elective surgery. It is designed for people with diabetes to help make surgery safer.
This trial uses a stomach ultrasound (called gastric POCUS) to check if your stomach is empty before surgery. It is for patients taking GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic, Wegovy, or similar) to help make sure it is safe to proceed with anesthesia.
