Filter by:The aim of this study is to perform bedside gastric point of care ultrasound (POCUS) exams to assess the gastric volume and content (clear liquids vs solid food) perioperatively in patients who take glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonist medications compared to patients who do not take GLP-1 agonists.
Various studies have shown that gastric sonography can reliably provide information on both qualitative (nature of content) and quantitative (volume) aspects of gastric content. A recent study has suggested that a minimum of 33 scans is needed to achieve a 95% success rate in the qualitative assessment of gastric ultrasound. However, as the risk and severity of aspiration are also influenced by gastric volume, further study concerning quantitative assessment is warranted.
Pulmonary aspiration of gastric content is one of the most feared perioperative complication of general anesthesia. Pregnant women are usually considered as high risk of pulmonary aspiration but there is no epidemiological study evaluating gastric content in pregnant women during the entire gestation periode. The main objective is evaluating prevalency of "full stomach" in differents stages of pregnancy in fasted pregnant women.
