Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Sequelae of complication of pregnancy, childbirth, and the puerperium,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2020/06/025719
• Lead Sponsor: Rainbow Childrens Hospital

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to implement ultrasound as a bedside tool to know the incidence of full stomach in patients posted for caesarean section and correlate the antral cross-sectional area with the hours of fasting, labouring / non labouring patient and elective/emergency caesarean section. The type and volume of gastric contents could further help the anaesthesiologist in formulating an anesthetic plan that carries the least risk of aspiration or to postpone surgery, whenever feasible. If the patient is at risk of aspiration, then all the measures to decrease the risk of aspiration and its sequelae must be employed.
