Test drink timing to study stomach emptying in late labor
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study measures how quickly a pregnant person’s stomach empties a water or sports drink during late labor. It may help improve safety and timing of what people can drink when labor is starting or being induced.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 36 weeks pregnant
- Have a single baby (not twins or more)

- Have not eaten any food in the last 3 hours
- Not have preeclampsia (a pregnancy blood pressure problem)

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.”
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 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 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 study uses ultrasound to look at how your stomach processes and empties food after a meal. It helps researchers understand normal digestion in healthy young adults.
This trial compares a special carbohydrate drink with standard electrolyte hydration during labor to see if it improves outcomes for you and your baby. It is for women with a normal, low-risk, or medium-risk pregnancy who plan to give birth at a specific hospital in Spain.
