Fasting time and stomach contents in children having endoscopy
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether how long children fast before an upper endoscopy (a camera look at the stomach) affects how much food or liquid is left in the stomach during the test. It uses existing medical records, so you don't need to do anything new.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are under 18 years old.
- You had an upper endoscopy (camera test of the stomach) for digestive problems.
- Your medical records include how long you fasted before the procedure.
- The doctor noted your stomach contents during the procedure.

This study checks how quickly a yoghurt breakfast leaves the stomach in children before an endoscopy. It may help make fasting rules safer and more comfortable for kids.
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 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 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 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 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.
