First seen Apr 30, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study looked at 90 pregnant women having planned C-sections to see if how long they fasted (6-8 vs 8-10 hours) changed their stomach volume, measured by ultrasound. The goal was to understand if longer fasting reduces risks like nausea and vomiting after surgery. Researchers also checked how factors like age and weight affected stomach volume.
