Stomach emptying after emergency fluids in injured children
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study checks how a child's stomach empties after they receive emergency fluids for severe blood loss from an injury. It uses a safe ultrasound scan of the belly to see if the treatment affects digestion.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between 2 and 7 years old
- Had a recent injury and is being treated for severe blood loss
- Healthy stomach and intestines (no known conditions or prior surgery)
- No major belly injury that could affect digestion
- No need for immediate emergency surgery before the ultrasound
- Condition is stable enough to allow a quick ultrasound exam

This study looks at how quickly the stomach empties in intensive care patients who are on a breathing machine and receiving liquid nutrition through a tube. It aims to understand and possibly improve feeding tolerance in these patients.
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 focused ultrasound (a non-invasive treatment using sound waves) can help improve symptoms of gastroparesis or delayed gastric emptying. It involves two visits where you will drink a nutritional shake and receive the ultrasound treatment, to see if it helps your stomach empty more normally.
This study looks at how quickly the stomach empties after a traumatic injury. It may help doctors understand digestion in injured patients.
This study uses an ultrasound (a safe imaging test) to look at the stomach of children who need surgery soon after an injury. It helps doctors check if the stomach is empty, which can make anesthesia safer.
This study tests if a medicine called metoclopramide can help empty the stomach before emergency surgery in children with trauma, which may reduce the risk of complications during anesthesia.
