What is being measured

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

  1. Presence of gastric insufflation in the epigastric region

    Under ultrasound, air signal is assessed in the epigastric region

    Measured: During anesthesia induction

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Cross-sectional area of the antral cross-sectional area

    During ultrasound examination, anterior-posterior diameter and cranio-caudal diameter of the antrum are measured. Cross-sectional area of the gastric antrum is calculated as follows; (AP × CC × π)/4 (AP=antero-posterior diameter and CC=cranio-caudal diameter).

    Measured: During anesthesia induction

  2. Presence of gastric insufflation in the upper esophageal region

    Under ultrasound, air signal is assessed in the upper esophageal region.

    Measured: During anesthesia induction

  3. Expiratory tidal volume

    Expiratory tidal volumes displayed on the monitor of the anesthesia machine are recorded.

    Measured: During anesthesia induction

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ultrasound examination of air insufflation in the upper esophageal region and stomach in people with Gastric Insufflation, run by SMG-SNU Boramae Medical Center.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Presence of gastric insufflation in the epigastric region (time frame: During anesthesia induction). 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 16 Jul 2021.
