Ultrasound scan could make emergency surgery safer for kids
NCT ID NCT02584348
Summary
This study tested whether using a simple ultrasound scan to check if a child's stomach is empty before emergency surgery could help doctors choose a safer anesthesia method. Researchers scanned 146 children aged 0-18 before their operations to see if the scan results changed how doctors put them to sleep. The goal was to prevent stomach contents from accidentally entering the lungs during anesthesia, which is a serious risk in emergency surgeries.
