Feasibility of Nurse-performed Gastric Ultrasound After Surgery

Summary

Gastric ultrasound is a quick and non-invasive tool to evaluate gastric content.

Emptying of gastric content can be affected after abdominal surgery leading to the inability of tolerating oral foods. Gastric content can be assessed by gastric ultrasound and nurses were recently trained to do so in healthy volunteers; however, feasibility of nurse-performed gastric ultrasound after major abdominal surgery is not investigated yet.

This study aims to investigate the feasibility of nurse-performed gastric point-of-care ultrasound after major gastro-intestinal surgery.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

gastric ultrasonograppy

Patients will be scanned in both supine and right lateral decubitus position (RLD)s. If the antrum is visible, it will be judged if the antrum is empty in both positions or the antrum is empty in supine position and fluid apparent in RLD position suggesting a low fluid volume (\<1,5 ml/Kg). The third option is fluid apparent in both supine and RLD position, suggesting a higher fluid volume (\>1,5ml/Kg) and the last option is solid food in one or both positions.
