Ultrasound test of metoclopramide for stomach volume in kids with trauma
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial uses an ultrasound to see how a medicine called metoclopramide affects stomach volume in children who need emergency surgery after a trauma. It may help doctors better understand stomach emptying before surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is having urgent surgery due to a traumatic injury (like a fall or accident).
- Your child does not have a head injury (injury to the skull or brain).
- You (the guardian) agree to let your child join the study.

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 research study tests whether a medication called metoclopramide (used to stop nausea and vomiting), with or without a steroid called dexamethasone, can help people having emergency surgery after a serious injury. It looks at how quickly your stomach empties before surgery, which may reduce the risk of complications.
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.
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 study looks at how quickly the stomach empties after a traumatic injury. It may help doctors understand digestion in injured patients.
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.
