Ultrasound of the stomach for children before surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses an ultrasound (a safe imaging test) to look at the stomach of children who need surgery soon after an injury. It helps doctors check if the stomach is empty, which can make anesthesia safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 1 and 18 years old.
- You are having surgery within one hour of the ultrasound.
- You are generally healthy or have mild to moderate health issues (ASA I-III).
- You do not have any previous surgery or known problems in your stomach or esophagus.
- You do not have wounds on your belly area that would prevent the ultrasound.

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 checks how a child's stomach empties after they receive emergency fluids for severe blood loss from an injury. It uses a safe ultrasound scan of the belly to see if the treatment affects digestion.
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 tests if a medicine called metoclopramide can help empty the stomach before emergency surgery in children with trauma, which may reduce the risk of complications during anesthesia.
This trial studies how well a bedside ultrasound can show what is in the stomach. It may help doctors make safer plans around procedures done with anesthesia, especially in children.
