Preoperative Presence of Gastric Content in Non-fasting Patients - an Ultrasound Study

NCT03685435 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 72

Last updated 2019-11-21

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Using bedside ultrasound, the investigators will examine gastric content in non-fasting patients assigned to rapid sequence intubation (RSI). The procedure will be done immediately before intubation. The percentage of non-fasting patients who actually have gastric content will be determined.

Identifying gastric content is critical because presence increases the risk of pulmonary aspiration during intubation.
