Ultrasound study tests metoclopramide for stomach safety in diabetic surgery patients
NCT ID NCT07519447
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving metoclopramide, a drug that speeds up stomach emptying, helps diabetic patients have less stomach fluid before surgery. 60 adults having elective surgery were checked with ultrasound to measure stomach contents. The goal was to see if the drug lowers the risk of food or liquid entering the lungs during anesthesia.
