NCT05796063 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 128

Last updated 2023-04-07

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this research is to determine if gastric point of care ultrasound (G-POCUS) can be used to help clinicians determine when to feed patients or when to insert or remove nasogastric tubes for patients recovering from colorectal or abdominal surgery.

Patients enrolled in the intervention group will have G-POCUS exams performed after surgery. The results of the exams will be used to make clinical decisions.

Researchers will compare these patients to patients receiving the usual care in the hospital after surgery.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

gastric point of care ultrasound

Patients will receive a gastric point of care ultrasound to evaluate for delayed gastric emptying. Gastric POCUS studies will be obtained using Kosmos, a handheld portable ultrasound that is FDA approved for clinical use. This product has already been validated for use, and this is not a novel application of the technology.
