In this study, the investigators aim to investigate the effects of three different positions after feeding on gastric residual volume, abdominal oxygenation using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and fractional oxygen extraction values in preterm newborns.
General Anesthesia requires preoperative fasting according to specific instructions. Regarding Fasting Guidelines, The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) recommends patients to fast from fatty food or meat eight hours prior to surgery, non-human milk or light meal for six hours prior, breast milk for four hours prior, and clear liquids including water, pulp-free juice, and tea without milk for two hours prior to the anesthetic. ASA fasting guidelines application represents the primary method to avoid aspiration as it ensures that stomach is empty before induction of anesthesia. These guidelines cannot be applied on all cases as in urgent or emergent situations or in morbidities associated with delayed gastric emptying, like Diabetes mellitus and some neurological disorders (
The aim of this study is to ascertain Gastric residual volume (GRV) of gastric contents in 35 infants who are breast fed 3 hours prior to general anaesthesia. The secondary aim of this study is to ascertain how well ultrasound (USS) derived measurement of GRV, using the gastric antrum cross sectional area (ACSA), correlates to direct measurement via aspiration.
This is a single-blind randomized controlled trial with a stratified (diabetes mellitus, non-diabetes mellitus), balanced randomization (1:1), placebo-controlled study regarding the effect of carbohydrate loading 2 hours prior to the outpatient upper endoscopic procedure. All patients who were assigned for outpatient oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGDS) were invited to join in this study voluntarily from January 2021 until August 2021. This study was conducted in the Endoscopy Unit, Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kubang Kerian, Malaysia. The endoscopists that performed this procedure were blinded and there was trained staff who was not involved in the study to assess the well-being score. The study protocol had been approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of Universiti Sains Malaysia (JEPeM) with the assigned protocol code USM/JEPeM/20080414.
In emergencies, it may be necessary to anaesthetize who are not fully starved and consequently at risk of pulmonary aspiration. Pregnancy are recognized to be at increased risk of aspiration compared with non-pregnancy. Prokinetic agents such as metoclopramide can be used to reduce GRV. Metoclopramide is widely used as a prokinetic agent in adults and is licensed for premedication in pregnancy, but its use may be limited by its potential for producing extrapyramidal side effects. Erythromycin is an effective prokinetic agent in adults but there is no work examining its use for premedication in pregnancy. This study compared the effects of erythromycin and metoclopramide on GRV in full-term pregnant women
The practice of checking gastric residuals is not evidence based. The amount of gastric residual volume (GRV) does not correlate with either feeding intolerance or development of NEC. We hypothesize that not monitoring GRV in infants with birth weights < 1,250 g, and who are being fed intermittently by gastric tube, will result in earlier attainment of full feeding. This is an unblinded randomized controlled trial where GRV will not be checked routinely in the intervention group.
The study is aim to investigate the appropriate fasting time for clear fluid in paediatric patients who plan for elective minor surgery. This is a randomize control trial, which patient will be selected randomly to fast for clear fluid for 1 hour or 2 hours. It is important to determine the gastric residual volume for paediatric age group prior to elective minor surgery in order to determine whether the difference between 1 hour fasting and 2 hour fasting for clear fluid is significant.
This study conducted is to assess effect of carbohydrate loading (maltodextrin with whey protein) to gastric volume 2 hours after ingestion via aspiration while doing OGDS (direct visualisation) and patient's wellbeing (hunger, thirst, weakness, tiredness, anxiety) for all patient planned for OGDS. hypothesis H1: There is significant association between carbohydrate loading with residual gastric volume and subject's wellbeing H0: there is no significant association between carbohydrate loading with gastric residual volume and subject's wellbeing
