First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether ultrasound can reliably tell if a person's stomach is full before anesthesia, which helps prevent food or liquid from entering the lungs. Twenty-one healthy adults drank different amounts of water, and researchers compared ultrasound accuracy with the bed flat or raised 45 degrees. The goal is to improve safety checks before surgery.
