Summary

This study looked at how fast the stomach empties a small amount of clear fluid (3 mL/kg of 5% dextrose) in underweight versus healthy-weight children aged 6 to 14 before surgery. Researchers used ultrasound to measure stomach volume over time. The goal was to see if underweight children need different fasting rules to stay safe during anesthesia.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
5% Dextrose (clear fluid)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help create better preoperative fasting guidelines for underweight children, potentially reducing the risk of complications during surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 60 participants. The results may not apply to all children or settings, and the study does not test any treatment or long-term outcomes.
