About this study

Investigators assess the gastric contents by ultrasonography in fasted patients undergoing cholecystectomy.

Read the detailed description

Investigators evaluate the gastric volume through cross sectional area and amount of clear fluid using Perlas grade by ultrasound in the supine and right lateral position of fasted patients undergoing cholecystectomy. Full stomach is regarded if solid gastric contents are detected or clear fluid is more than 1.5 ml/kg. The frequency of full stomach will be analyzed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of full stomach

    The incidence of full stomach is assessed by using ultrasonography.

    Measured: Before the induction of anesthesia

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Cross sectional area of the stomach

    The cross sectional area of the stomach is assessed by using ultrasonography in the supine and right lateral positions.

    Measured: Before the induction of anesthesia

  2. Volume of stomach

    The volume of stomach is assessed using the following formula; volume of stomach (mL) = 27.0 + 14.6 x cross-sectional area (right lateral position) - 1.28 x age.

    Measured: Before the induction of anesthesia

  3. Type of gastric contents

    The type of gastric contents is assessed using ultrasonography.

    Measured: Before the induction of anesthesia

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?

Incidence of full stomach (time frame: Before the induction of anesthesia). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03259841, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
