Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the type of gastric content and quantify the volume of liquid gastric contents using ultrasonography in patients on GLP-1 agonists that have presented for elective surgery and to determine if risk factors are associated with a higher gastric volume in patients on GLP-1… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Gastric Ultrasound Assessment for Preoperative Prandial State of Patients Taking Glucagon-Like Peptide-1(GLP-1) Receptor Agonists

The purpose of this study is to determine the type of gastric content and quantify the volume of liquid gastric contents using ultrasonography in patients on GLP-1 agonists that have presented for elective surgery and to determine if risk factors are associated with a higher gastric volume in patients on GLP-1 receptor agonists.

Being tested
Gastric ultrasound

What participants receive

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

  • Gastric ultrasoundDiagnostic test

    Patient will be scanned first in the supine position and then in the right lateral decubitus position. The ultrasound probe will be placed in a sagittal plane in the epigastric region at the left subcostal margin and then will be moved past the midline in a fan like manner to the right subcostal region. Qualitative and quantitative assessments will be done.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of subjects that are at risk for aspiration

    Risk for aspiration is indicated by the presence of solids, thick fluid, or clear fluids >1.5ml/kg in the gastric antrum in the right lateral decubitus position

    Measured: end of ultrasound

  2. Number of subjects that are at low risk for aspiration

    Low risk for aspiration is indicated by a collapsed gastric antrum or clear fluids <1.5ml/kg in the gastric antrum in the right lateral decubitus position.

    Measured: end of ultrasound

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Age

    Measured: end of ultrasound

  2. Number of participants that are male as indicated in the medical records

    Measured: end of ultrasound

  3. Number of participants that are female as indicated in the medical records

    Measured: end of ultrasound

  4. Body mass Index (BMI)

    Body Mass Index (BMI) is calculated as the body mass in kilograms (kg) divided by the square of the body height in meters, and is expressed in units of kg/m2.

    Measured: end of ultrasound

  5. Physical status as assessed by the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification system

    The classification ranges from American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA)1 (normal healthy person ) to ASA IV (A patient with severe systemic disease that is a constant threat to life)

    Measured: end of ultrasound

  6. Number of participants with diabetes

    Measured: end of ultrasound

  7. Number of participants with reported nothing by mouth (NPO) status

    Measured: end of ultrasound

  8. Pain severity as assessed by the numeric scale

    This is a 11 point scale with scores ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain)

    Measured: end of ultrasound

  9. Number of participants with Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

    Measured: end of ultrasound

  10. Number of participants that have use opioids preoperatively

    Measured: end of ultrasound

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Aspiration, run by The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston at 1 site in United States.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Aug 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 United States. 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?

Number of subjects that are at risk for aspiration (time frame: end of ultrasound). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Aug 2023.
