Stomach volume in diabetes patients vs. others
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses a simple stomach ultrasound before surgery to see how fast your stomach empties. It compares that to your HbA1c (a measure of average blood sugar) to better understand how diabetes might affect digestion during anesthesia.
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 uses an ultrasound to check if your stomach empties normally before elective surgery. It is designed for people with diabetes to help make surgery safer.
This study uses ultrasound to compare the amount of fluid in the stomach right before a planned cesarean section. It looks at women with diabetes and those without to see if there is a difference, which can help make anesthesia safer.
This study looks at whether a common diabetes medication (GLP-1) affects how much food stays in your stomach before surgery. It aims to make anesthesia safer by understanding stomach content.
This study uses an ultrasound to check how fast your stomach empties food. It looks at people with type 2 diabetes who have been taking a GLP-1 medication for at least three months.
