Checking stomach fullness with ultrasound in high-risk pregnancy
Part of Digestive system, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to check how full your stomach is, which helps plan for safe anesthesia during delivery. It is for pregnant women at high risk who are admitted to the hospital at 28 weeks or more.

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 trial tests whether a bedside ultrasound can measure how full the stomach is in patients on a breathing machine who are receiving liquid nutrition through a tube. If it works, doctors may avoid complications and feed patients more safely.
This study uses ultrasound to look at your stomach before a planned C-section to help make anesthesia safer and more comfortable.
This study compares using an ultrasound before a gastroscopy (a tube with a camera to look inside your stomach) with the usual method of suctioning stomach contents. It aims to see if ultrasound can predict what is in the stomach, which may help make the procedure safer and more comfortable.
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.
