About this study

Official title: Comparison of Gastric Residual Volume After Ingestion of Carbohydrate Drink and Water in Obese Volunteers: A Randomized Crossover Study

This randomized crossover study compares gastric residual volume after ingestion of carbohydrate drinks and water in obese volunteers. The main question[s] it aims to answer are:

  • Is it safe for obese patients to shorten their fasting by allowing preoperative drinks?
  • How long is the gastric emptying time in obese patients? Participants also will be evaluated the level of thirst/hungry and blood sugar.
Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • Preopertive drinkProcedure or surgery

    • Group C: will receive a carbohydrate drink of 400 ml (50 g of glucose prepared by nutrition division, same appearance and containing bottles of water)
    • Group W: will receive water 400 ml (prepared by nutrition division, Songklanagarind hospital, same appearance and containing bottles of carbohydrate drink) In both groups, the received 400-mL drink was consumed within 5 minutes.
    • Before drinking, baseline data (gastric residual volume, POCT glucose, degree of hunger, and thirst) will be evaluated.
    • Gastric ultrasound will be performed by the same Radiologist on each participant at 0, 30, 60, 90, 120 minutes
    • after drinking to evaluate the gastric residual volume and time to empty gastric antrum.
    • POCT glucose and degree of hunger and thirst are also assessed again at 120 minutes after drinking.
    • After completing one type of drinking, participants will be appointed again after 1 week later for doing the same protocol with another drinking.

What is being measured

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

  1. gastric residual volume

    changes in gastric residual volume during 2 hours after drinking

    Measured: baseline and every 30 minutes until 2 hours after drinking

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. time to empty gastric antrum

    Measured: baseline and 120 minutes after drinking

  2. POCT glucose

    changes in glucose level after ingest carbohydrate drink or water

    Measured: baseline and 120 minutes after drinking

  3. thirst and hunger level

    thirst and hunger level will be evaluated by visual rating scale

    Measured: baseline and 120 minutes after drinking

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Preopertive drink in people with Obesity and Gastric Emptying, run by Prince of Songkla University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 7 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 24 Apr 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 Thailand. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

gastric residual volume (time frame: baseline and every 30 minutes until 2 hours after drinking). 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 24 Apr 2023.
