This study compares how much air enters the stomach during surgery when using three different breathing tubes in children ages 1–10. The goal is to understand which tube design is safest and causes the least stomach bloating during anesthesia.
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 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.
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 tests whether giving a drug called metoclopramide before surgery can help your stomach empty faster in people taking GLP-1 weight-loss medications. This may reduce the risk of food or liquid staying in your stomach during surgery, which can be dangerous.
