NCT ID NCT07063069
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study explores whether measuring stomach size with ultrasound can predict nausea, vomiting, and pneumonia after major abdominal surgery. Researchers will compare stomach diameter before and after surgery in 150 patients. The goal is to find a simple way to identify who might need early help, such as a nasogastric tube, to prevent complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- abdominal ultrasound
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could give doctors a simple, non-invasive way to identify patients at high risk of postoperative nausea, vomiting, or pneumonia, allowing earlier treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with 150 patients, so results may not apply to everyone. The link between stomach size and complications is still unproven.
