What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Assessment of gastric volumeDevice

    Measuring the cross-sectional area of stomach in supine and right lateral decubitus

What is being measured

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

  1. gastric volume

    Volume = -7.8 + (3.5 x RLD CSA) + 0.127 X age (months)

    Measured: preoperative 1 days to postoperative 1 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Grade of gastric fullness

    Grade 0: Neither in supine, right lateral decubitus / Grade 1: stomach content only in lateral decubitus , Grade 2: Both in supine, lateral decubitus

    Measured: preoperative 1 days to postoperative 1 days
