- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method change in antral cross sectional area measured by ultrasonography after suctioning gastric volume prior to and immediately after suctioning of gastric content volume through a gastric tube Ultrasound measurement of antral area and qualitative assessment
Change in antral area after administration of prokinetic drug Ultrasound assessment of gastric content after reinjection of suctioned gastric content and 1h30 later (1 h after the end of the infusion of prokinetic drug) If aspirated gastric content volume was \> 250 ml, only 250 ml will be reinjected into the stomach and a prokientic drug will be administered (current protocol in our units). Antral area will be measured prior to and 90 min after the start of the infusion
