NCT ID NCT02584348
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether using ultrasound to check what's in a child's stomach before emergency surgery can help doctors choose a safer way to give anesthesia. 146 children took part. The goal was to see if the ultrasound results led doctors to change their usual approach, potentially reducing the risk of stomach contents entering the lungs.
