Ultrasound stomach check before surgery in sleeve gastrectomy patients
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.

This study uses an ultrasound to check the stomach contents of people with type 2 diabetes before elective surgery. It aims to understand if diabetes affects how fast the stomach empties, which could help prevent complications during surgery.
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 compares using an ultrasound before a gastroscopy (a tube with a camera to look inside your stomach) with the usual method of suctioning stomach contents. It aims to see if ultrasound can predict what is in the stomach, which may help make the procedure safer and more comfortable.
This study uses a simple ultrasound at the bedside to see how epilepsy and epilepsy medications affect how fast your stomach empties before surgery. This could help doctors give better anesthesia care to people with epilepsy.
This study uses an ultrasound to look at the stomach before weight-loss surgery. The goal is to see if ultrasound can help doctors plan the surgery more safely, which might lower the risk of complications.
