Ultrasound for stomach volume in high-risk pregnant women
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to measure stomach contents in pregnant women who are at high risk and have reached full term. The goal is to help doctors better understand and manage the risk of aspiration (stomach contents entering the lungs) during delivery.
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 tests a new ultrasound system designed specifically for pregnancy imaging. Researchers want to make sure it works well and safely captures clear images of your baby during mid-pregnancy (weeks 18–28).
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.
This study collects ultrasound images from pregnant and non-pregnant adults to help improve software for pregnancy care. It may help improve how ultrasounds are used in the future.
This trial tests using an ultrasound scan to estimate stomach fluid and volume in ICU patients. It may help clinicians better assess aspiration risk and prepare for safe anesthesia or procedures.
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.
