No results posted yet for this study

Summary

To reduce the risk of aspiration for elective procedures, residual gastric volumes (RGV) have traditionally been minimized with overnight fasting. However, prolonged fasting can also have some adverse consequences and has been abandoned for some procedures in several patient populations with the exception of obese and/or diabetic patients. The aim of this study was to assess RGV in morbidly obese diabetic patients after traditional or abbreviated fasting.

Endoscopic examinations

Patients underwent two endoscopic examinations within two weeks. RGV was measured by aspiration of gastric contentes into a graduated cylinder after traditional fasting (at least 8 hours before the test) and after abbreviated fasting (3 hours with 200ml of water containing 25g of 12.5% maltodextrin). All patients received both oral and written information about the protocol at the outpatient clinic.
