Summary

The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of semi sitting versus supine positions on gastric emptying of fluids in children using gastric ultrasound.

The investigators hypothesize that gastric emptying in children might be faster if the patient is in semi-sitting position. This hypothesis could impact the current guidelines for peri-operative fasting. Moreover, if this proved effective, could be used for enhancement of gastric emptying before emergency operations in non-fasting patient.
