Stomach ultrasound in children with injuries
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a quick ultrasound of the stomach can help doctors make safer decisions for children coming in for emergency surgery after an injury. If your child is having surgery soon, this scan may help tailor anesthesia care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 and 18 years old.
- Your child must be scheduled for surgery within the next hour.
- Your child should be healthy enough to have surgery (no major health problems that would make surgery risky).
- Your child cannot have any known problems or previous surgeries in the stomach or esophagus.
- Your child must not have wounds on the upper belly area that would block the ultrasound probe.

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 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.
This study looks at how quickly the stomach empties after a traumatic injury. It may help doctors understand digestion in injured patients.
This study looks at how well an abdominal ultrasound test (FAST) works for children who come to the emergency department after a serious blunt injury to the belly or torso. The goal is to help doctors find dangerous internal bleeding or organ injury quickly and safely.
This trial studies how the stomach is working in children around the time of surgery. It may help improve how doctors assess and manage stomach function to make surgery safer and more comfortable.
