Fasting Time and Stomach Contents Before Pediatric Endoscopy
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how long children should fast (not eat or drink) before having an endoscopy—a camera procedure to look inside the stomach. Researchers will check how much food or fluid remains in the stomach and whether fasting guidelines work well for children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is under 18 years old
- Your child had an upper endoscopy (a camera test of the stomach) for stomach symptoms or concerns
- The hospital has complete medical records, anesthesia records, and endoscopy reports from the procedure
- The records clearly document how long your child fasted before the procedure
- The endoscopy report includes notes about what was in your child's stomach before the procedure started

This study looks at whether different fasting instructions before surgery can help children be more comfortable and less anxious. It involves children having groin or penis surgery and will check their stomach with ultrasound to see how fasting affects them.
This study looks at how general health factors (like age and other medical conditions) might affect how long you need to stay in the hospital after a routine stomach or bowel exam called an endoscopy. The goal is to understand which patients may need extra care so hospitals can plan better.
This trial studies how a longer fasting period affects stomach contents in people taking GLP-1 receptor agonists (a type of diabetes or weight-loss drug). It helps doctors understand if extra fasting time is needed before an upper endoscopy (a camera test for the stomach).
This study looks at how much clear liquid is left in the stomach after children drink different measured amounts before an endoscopy. The goal is to help make anesthesia and endoscopy safer by better understanding stomach “residual volume.”
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 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.
