Trial summary

Patients are asked to be fasted for certain period of time before sedation to reduce the risk of pulmonary aspiration. However, fasting can be harmful, especially in children who has smaller reserves of energy and fluids compared to the adults. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Gastric Ultrasound for Reduction of Fasting Time in Children for Sedation

Patients are asked to be fasted for certain period of time before sedation to reduce the risk of pulmonary aspiration. However, fasting can be harmful, especially in children who has smaller reserves of energy and fluids compared to the adults. Prolonged fasting may increase nausea, vomiting, dehydration, and hypoglycemia. Therefore, it is important to minimize prolonged fasting time in pediatric patients.

This study is aimed to investigate the safety of minimal fasting time (2 hours) compared to the standard fasting time (4 hours) with gastric ultrasound.

Conditions
Pediatric ALL
Being tested
4 hours of fasting time, 2 hours of fasting time

What is being measured

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

  1. Risk of aspiration

    Gastric antral cross-sectional area assessed with gastric ultrasound

    Measured: 10 minutes before sedation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The incidence of complications

    he incidence of major (pulmonary aspiration, aspiration pneumonia) and minor complications (nausea and vomiting, dehydration) between two groups.

    Measured: 10 minutes after sedation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 4 hours of fasting time and 2 hours of fasting time in people with Pediatric ALL, run by Eunah Cho, MD at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 21 Sep 2023. 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 South Korea. 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?

Risk of aspiration (time frame: 10 minutes before sedation). 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 21 Sep 2023.
