Abstract Study Objectives: To describe a method of the authors' design for estimating gastric
volume quantitatively using ultrasound and to evaluate the usefulness of this method in the …

Background Aspiration of gastric contents can be a serious perioperative complication,
attributing up to 9% of all anesthesia-related deaths. However, there is currently no practical …

METHODS: Patients undergoing elective UGE were randomized to ingest one of 6
predetermined volumes of apple juice after an 8-hour fasting period. A cross-sectional area …

Background. Point-of-care gastric ultrasound is an emerging tool to assess gastric content
and volume at the bedside. The examination includes both a qualitative and a quantitative …

We aimed to measure gastric antral cross‐sectional area with ultrasound and estimate the
gastric volume of 300 patients before unplanned surgery, fasted for at least six hours …

Background: Gastric sonography can provide information about gastric content and volume
that can help determine aspiration risk at the bedside. The primary objective of this study is …

Methods: The study was conducted in 100 adult patients presenting for elective surgery. A
preoperative bedside gastric ultrasound scan was done in supine and right lateral position …

The assessment of the risk of pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents may be difficult in the
preoperative period, apart from typical circumstances. The development of ultrasonography …

We assessed the impact of raising the upper section of the bed, and patient positioning, on
ultrasound assessment of gastric fluid contents. We performed ultrasound examinations in …

The purpose of this prospective observational study was to measure gastric volumes in
fasted patients using bedside gastric ultrasound. Patients presenting for non-emergency …
