Prevalence of Aspiration Risk Assessed by Gastric Ultrasonography in Diabetic Patients Undergoing an Elective Surgery

Completed
Conditions
Diabetic patients with elective surgery
Prevalence, Diabetes mellitus, High risk pulmonary aspiration, Gastric ultrasound assessment
Registration Number
TCTR20230615004
Lead Sponsor
Faculty of Medicine, Srinakharinwirot University
Brief Summary

The prevalence of the risk of aspiration of gastric content from the stomach into the lungs, characterized by retained gastric contents and a gastric volume greater than 1.5 mL/kg, in diabetic patients undergoing emergency surgery, was found to be 18.49% using ultrasound. Significant risk factors associated with this condition were age (65-84 years) and elevated BUN levels, with odd ratios of 20.81 (95%CI 2.01-215.54) and 1.05 (95%CI 1.01-1.09), respectively.
