Trial summary

Anesthesiologists try to avoid complications with significant peri -operative morbidity and mortality such as bronchoaspiration in patients requiring a surgical procedure under anesthesia. Currently, this is achieved based on experts recommendations from the American Society of Anesthesiologists. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Ultrasound Assessment of Gastric Content and Volume After Complete Fasting in Patients Undergoing Surgery at Two University Hospitals: A Multicentric Study

Anesthesiologists try to avoid complications with significant peri -operative morbidity and mortality such as bronchoaspiration in patients requiring a surgical procedure under anesthesia. Currently, this is achieved based on experts recommendations from the American Society of Anesthesiologists. However, there are tools like ultrasound that allow assessment of gastric content and volume. This tool allows to individualize each patient and base the decisions objectively. The investigators will assess gastric content and volume by ultrasound in patients who have fasted and require surgery at two University Hospitals.

  • UltrasoundDevice

    Ultrasound assessment of gastric content and volume

What is being measured

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

  1. Gastric content

    Ultrasound assessment of gastric content (empty, fluids, or solid) of patients undergoing surgery after complete fasting (more than 8 hours)

    Measured: June to December

  2. Gastric volume

    Ultrasound assessment of gastric volume (in milliliters) of patients undergoing surgery after complete fasting (more than 8 hours)

    Measured: June to December

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Association of gastric content and volume with special conditions as assessed by Anova or Kruskal as appropriate

    To identify the association between gastric content and volume with conditions such as diabetes, obesity, hiatal hernia, among others.

    Measured: June to December

  2. Association with fasting time

    To identify the association between gastric content and volume and preoperative fasting time.

    Measured: June to December

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Fasting, run by Fundación Santa Fe de Bogota at 2 sites in Colombia.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 22 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Colombia. 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?

Gastric content (time frame: June to December). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 22 Mar 2017.
