Trial summary

The surgical procedures in outpatient surgery are in perpetual increase. However, the peri operative stress can reduce the gastric emptying. A patient's compliance for following the fasting rules cannot be controlled at home. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Gastric Assessment in Ambulatory Surgery : a Prospective Study

The surgical procedures in outpatient surgery are in perpetual increase. However, the peri operative stress can reduce the gastric emptying. A patient's compliance for following the fasting rules cannot be controlled at home. Ambulatory surgery is currently proposed to fragile patients with many comorbidities known to slow gastric emptying. In day case surgery the airway management are often managed with supraglottic device ( laryngeal mask). This device does not protect the respiratory tract and may expose the patient to a risk of inhalation of gastric content (if not empty).

This study aim to mesure the prevalence of full stomachs in outpatient surgery and to observe any changes in anesthetic management secondary to the ultrasound assessment of gastric content. It will confront theoretical full stomach risk factors with ultrasound findings. The practical and clinical relevance of such a technique in the context of outpatient surgery will be assessed in this study. The ultimate goal is to improve the safety of the patient's anesthetic management by controlling the risk of pulmonary aspiration.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be included during the pre-anesthetic evaluation. The theoretical full stomach risk factors and the anesthetic management will be recorded in the computerized pre-anesthetic evaluation.

A qualitative and quantitative ultrasound evaluation will be performed when the patient arrives in the pre-anesthesia room. The examination will be performed in the right lateral decubitus with a low frequency convex ultrasound probe.

The main objective is to measure the prevalence of patients with a "full stomach" based on ultrasound criteria.

The primary endpoint is the presence of solid or fluid greater than 1.5 ml / kg of the predicted ideal body weight during ultrasonographic evaluation of gastric contents. In this situation, the patient will be considered at high risk of inhalation (considered full stomach).

This study will observe and record any anesthetic changes (ie : airway management) secondary to this ultrasouund assessment of gastric contents.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Full Stomach, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

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 1 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 10 Mar 2020. 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 France. 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?

The prevalence of patients with a "full stomach" based on ultrasound criteria. (time frame: one hour). 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 10 Mar 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
