Ultrasound reveals surgery risk for cannabis users

NCT ID NCT06567873

Summary

This study used a bedside ultrasound to look at the stomach contents of people who use cannabis before they had surgery. Researchers wanted to see if cannabis use was linked to having a fuller stomach, which could increase the risk of breathing stomach contents into the lungs during anesthesia. The study involved 40 participants to gather information that could help make surgery safer for cannabis users.
