Gastric ultrasound to guide anesthesia for fracture surgery
Part of Infections, Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial studies using a bedside ultrasound scan of the stomach (“gastric ultrasound”) to help guide anesthesia decisions during surgery for traumatic fractures. It may help reduce stomach-related anesthesia risks in the operating room by better assessing stomach contents.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need surgery because of a recent traumatic fracture
- Your overall health status is classified as ASA I, II, or III
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 35 or lower
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have conditions that commonly slow stomach emptying (like long-standing diabetes, nerve problems, reflux/GERD, certain esophagus or stomach surgeries, recent stomach/ulcer sores, hiatal hernia, or specific bile-duct/gallbladder stone problems)

This study compares the accuracy of a stomach ultrasound (a painless scan) with a traditional tube test (gastroscopy) to see how much food or fluid is left in the stomach. This could help doctors know if the stomach is empty before procedures, reducing risks.
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 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.
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.
This study checks whether using ultrasound to look at your stomach before a pain-relief procedure helps doctors make better decisions about anesthesia. You'll be screened before your scheduled procedure if you take opioids or have risk factors for stomach complications.
