Trial summary

Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that more than 50% of the patients receiving enteric contrast material (ECM) < 2 hours of anesthesia/sedation would have residual gastric fluid volume (GFV) > 0.4 ml/kg. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Residual Gastric Fluid With Administering Clear Liquids Within Two Hours of Anesthesia in Children

Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that more than 50% of the patients receiving enteric contrast material (ECM) < 2 hours of anesthesia/sedation would have residual gastric fluid volume (GFV) > 0.4 ml/kg. The investigators also hypothesize that measuring GFV by using region of interest in the CT technique is accurate compared to blind aspiration of the gastric contents with a syringe and a multi-orificed orogastric tube.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of our study is to examine the residual gastric fluid volume when oral contrast is administered within 2 hours of anesthesia /sedation and to validate the accuracy of measuring the residual gastric volume by using region of interest in the CT image by using blind aspiration of the gastric contents with a syringe and a multi-orificed orogastric tube.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Residual gastric fluid volume (GFV) < 0.4ml/kg or > 0.4 ml/kg

    Patients will have gastric volume suctioned and measured after the CT scan. The investigator will compare the amount suctioned to the measurement from the actual CT scan when all patients have been enrolled in the study.

    Measured: Approximately 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Residual gastric fluid volume (GFV) < 0.8 ml/kg or > 0.8 ml/kg

    Patients will have gastric volume suctioned and measured after the CT scan. The investigator will compare the amount suctioned to the measurement from the actual CT scan when all patients have been enrolled in the study.

    Measured: Approximate 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Clinical CT Abdomen/Pelvic With Oral Contrast and Sedation, run by Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Residual gastric fluid volume (GFV) < 0.4ml/kg or > 0.4 ml/kg (time frame: Approximately 2 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Jan 2024.
