Gastric volume in diabetic vs. non-diabetic women before c-section
Part of Digestive system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to compare the amount of fluid in the stomach right before a planned cesarean section. It looks at women with diabetes and those without to see if there is a difference, which can help make anesthesia safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial checks how fast the stomach empties water before a planned C-section. It compares women with and without diabetes to see if there is any difference in stomach contents. This might help improve safety for future patients.
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 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 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.
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 uses an ultrasound to look at the stomach contents of pregnant women before a planned cesarean section. It may help improve safety during surgery.
