Official Title: The Relationship Between Gastric Ultrasound Findings and Endoscopically Aspirated Volume in Infants and Determination of Antral Cut-off Value for the Diagnosis of Empty Stomach
Brief Summary:
Background and Aim: Pulmonary aspiration of gastric content is a serious perioperative complication. What is known about the pediatric patient's fasting time is usually based on parental history alone, but in some situation there may be doubts about an empty stomach in young children. Ultrasound examination of the gastric antrum is increasingly used and is emerging as a valuable perioperative noninvasive tool for the indirect assessment of gastric volumes in children. The objective of this prospective study was to…
