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.
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.
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 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.
