About this study

Official title: : Determining Gastric Emptying Time In Elderly Using Ultrasound Associated With Preoperative Fasting Time

DETERMINING GASTRIC EMPTYING TIME IN ELDERLY USING ULTRASOUND ASSOCIATED WITH PREOPERATIVE FASTING TIME

Background:

Read more

Gastric contents aspiration is the most crucial complication of general anaesthesia. There are limited studies to assess the gastric volume ultrasound to clarify an appropriate fasting time before surgery. Gastric content will examine after a traditional Turkish breakfast with ultrasound.

Methods:

After the first ultrasound examination by asking 8 hours fasting ,gastric emptying time(GET) was determined by serial gastric ultrasound examinations with two ultrasonographers and GET identified by real time USG evaluations in every 1 hour.

All ultrasound assessments on volunteers will made both in the supine position and right lateral decubitus (RLD) from the epigastric area by using a convex probe.

This study is the first one which examine gastric emptying time after a standard Turkish breakfast in over 65 years Turkish population by measuring antral cross section area (CSA) using noninvasive ultrasound.

Read the detailed description

Preoperative fasting has always been problematic in preoperative patients because of the pulmonary aspiration hazard and discomfort of prolonged fasting. Although stomach scintigraphy has been accepted as a gold standard for imaging method of evaluating gastric content; recently, ultrasound is being a simple, efficient, available and non invasive alternative. Preoperative fasting is especially difficult in elderly because of comorbidities, dehydration, drug therapies. Therefore, in this study gastric emptying time will be identified after a standard Turkish breakfast in over 65 years old Turkish population to clarify fasting time, measuring antral cross section area (CSA) by using non invasive ultrasound for the first time. Ultrasound assessments on volunteers will be made both in the supine position and right lateral decubitus (RLD) from the epigastric area by using a convex probe. After visualization of gastric antrum according to landmarks such as abdominal aorta, superior mesenteric artery and the left lobe of liver; antrum will measured in two sagittal planes: craniocaudal (CC) and anteroposterior(AP) diameters. Gastric emptying time will be identify by real time usg done by 1 hour intervals.This is the first study with ultrasound evaluation of gastric emptying time in Turkish population after a traditional Turkish breakfast.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Fasting, run by Gaziosmanpasa Research and Education Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 2021. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

evaluating gastric emptying time assosiated with preoperative fasting (time frame: base and real time measurements for 6 hours by 1 hour intervals). 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 NCT04789785, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 2021.
