Summary
This study tests whether giving metoclopramide alone or with dexamethasone can speed up stomach emptying in trauma patients needing emergency surgery. Using bedside ultrasound, researchers will measure stomach contents to see which drug works better. The goal is to reduce the risk of vomiting and breathing in stomach acid during anesthesia. Only one adult trauma patient will be enrolled initially.
