Brief Summary

Pulmonary aspiration is a serious complication leading to significant morbidity and mortality.Patients with raised intracranial pressure in condition like brain tumors are at risk of gastroparesis leading to delayed gastric emptying time.The fasting guidelines of 8 hours  of fasting before anesthesia induction may not be applicable to this group of patients.So we are doing this study to find out adequate fasting duration in these patients and decrease risk of pulmonary aspiration.by using ultrasound to see the stomach just before the induction of anesthesia which is a good point of care tool
