Study Overview
Brief Summary
The presence of gastric contents increases the risk of aspiration. As a result, practiceguidelines for preoperative fasting were developed to provide adequate time for gastric emptying in patients undergoing surgery. Point-of-care gastric ultrasound preoperative gastric ultrasound represents a feasible option that can be incorporated into standard anesthesia practice to assess the gastric antrum and, thereby, gastric volume owing to its cost-effectiveness and ease of performing at the bedside.
