Trial Outcomes & Findings for Gastric Volumes by US in Term Parturients Undergoing CS With and Without Metoclopramide (NCT NCT05033041)

NCT ID: NCT05033041

Last Updated: 2025-09-11

Results Overview

Change in gastric volume (mL) determined by gastric ultrasound before and 30 minutes after administration of study drug. Gastric volumes were calculated from the cross sectional area (CSA) area using both the Perlas (Volume=27.0+14.6\*(RLD CSA (cm2)-1.28 \* age)) and the Roukhomovsky method (volume=(0.18\*RLD CSA (mm2))+(0.11\*SUP CSA (mm2)-62.4) methods.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 30 minutes after administration of study drug

Population: One subject in the placebo group did not have a paired ultrasound (missing pre-treatment).

Change in gastric volume (mL) determined by gastric ultrasound before and 30 minutes after administration of study drug. Gastric volumes were calculated from the cross sectional area (CSA) area using both the Perlas (Volume=27.0+14.6\*(RLD CSA (cm2)-1.28 \* age)) and the Roukhomovsky method (volume=(0.18\*RLD CSA (mm2))+(0.11\*SUP CSA (mm2)-62.4) methods.
