First seen May 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study is testing whether ultrasound can safely measure how full a child's stomach is before they receive anesthesia outside the operating room, such as in a procedure room. Researchers will enroll 200 children aged 0-18 and use ultrasound to grade stomach fluid levels. The goal is to see if this method can help prevent complications like aspiration, making anesthesia safer for kids.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a reliable, non-invasive way to assess stomach contents in children before anesthesia, potentially reducing the risk of aspiration.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The ultrasound method may not be accurate enough to replace current fasting guidelines, and results may not apply to all children.
As listed by the trial registrant
