Filter by:The surgical procedures in outpatient surgery are in perpetual increase. However, the peri operative stress can reduce the gastric emptying. A patient's compliance for following the fasting rules cannot be controlled at home. Ambulatory surgery is currently proposed to fragile patients with many comorbidities known to slow gastric emptying. In day case surgery the airway management are often managed with supraglottic device ( laryngeal mask). This device does not protect the respiratory tract and may expose the patient to a risk of inhalation of gastric content (if not empty). This study aim to mesure the prevalence of full stomachs in outpatient surgery and to observe any changes in anesthetic management secondary to the ultrasound assessment of gastric content. It will confront theoretical full stomach risk factors with ultrasound findings. The practical and clinical relevance of such a technique in the context of outpatient surgery will be assessed in this study. The ultimate goal is to improve the safety of the patient's anesthetic management by controlling the risk of pulmonary aspiration.
The aims of the study is to assess whether the intravenous infusion of 3 mg/kg erythromycin has a significant gastrokinetic effect leading to empty the stomach in less than 90 minutes in non-fasting patients undergoing emergency trauma surgery.
