Ultrasound stomach check before surgery in sleeve gastrectomy patients
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to measure how much stomach content remains after fasting in people who have had sleeve gastrectomy surgery. It aims to understand if the standard 8-hour fasting period is enough for this group before other surgeries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You had a sleeve gastrectomy (stomach reduction surgery) in the past.
- You are between 21 and 45 years old.
- You are having a scheduled (non-emergency) surgery.
- You have fasted for at least 8 hours before the study ultrasound.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is less than 35.

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 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 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 uses a simple stomach ultrasound before surgery to see how fast your stomach empties. It compares that to your HbA1c (a measure of average blood sugar) to better understand how diabetes might affect digestion during anesthesia.
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 study measures and compares the amount of fluid in the stomach before surgery between people with diabetes and those without. It helps doctors understand if diabetes affects stomach emptying, which can impact anesthesia safety.
