About this study

Official title: Comparative Observational Study of Residual Gastric Volume Measured by Ultrasound After Preoperative Fasting in a Diabetic Surgical Population Versus a Non-diabetic Surgical Population.

Comparison of residual gastric volume measure by ultrasounds between diabetic and non-diabetic patients scheduled for elective surgery

Read the detailed description

The presence of gastric content increases the risk of aspiration during general anesthesia. Delayed gastric emptying has been described in diabetic patients; for that reason, diabetic patients could have a high risk of aspiration despite adequate fasting. This study aimed to compare ultrasound-guided measurement of residual gastric volume between diabetic and non-diabetic patients scheduled for elective surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Residual Gastric Volume

    Residual gastric volume measured by ultrasounds as follows: Volume (mL) = 27.0 + 14.6 × CSARLD (cm²) - 1.28 × age (years)

    Measured: Preoperative

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Antral Cross-Sectional Area

    Antral cross-sectional area measured by ultrasounds

    Measured: Preoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, run by Fundación Instituto de Estudios de Ciencias de la Salud de Castilla y León at 1 site in Spain.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 13 Aug 2026. 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 Spain. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 May 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Residual Gastric Volume (time frame: Preoperative). 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 NCT05435157, 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.

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 13 Aug 2026.
