About this study

Official title: Study of Effects of Preoperative Oral Domperidone on Gastric Residual Volume After Clear Fluid Ingestion in Patients Scheduled for Elective Surgeries: Prospective , Randomized ,Double Blinded Controlled Study

General Anesthesia requires preoperative fasting according to specific instructions. Regarding Fasting Guidelines, The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) recommends patients to fast from fatty food or meat eight hours prior to surgery, non-human milk or light meal for six hours prior, breast milk for four hours prior, and clear liquids including water, pulp-free juice, and tea without milk for two hours prior to the anesthetic. ASA fasting guidelines application represents the primary method to avoid aspiration as it ensures that stomach is empty before induction of anesthesia. These guidelines cannot be applied on all cases as in urgent or emergent situations or in morbidities associated with delayed gastric emptying, like Diabetes mellitus and some neurological disorders (

Being tested
Domperidone, Folic acid

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Domperidone and Folic acid in people with Gastric Residual Volume, run by Ain Shams University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

assess the effect of oral Domperidone preoperatively on gastric residual volume by ultrasound for patients undergoing elective surgeries under general anesthesia (time frame: first 2 hours preoperative). 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?
