About

Comparison of residual gastric volume measure by ultrasounds between diabetic and non-diabetic patients scheduled for elective surgery

Full description

The presence of gastric content increases the risk of aspiration during general anesthesia. Delayed gastric emptying has been described in diabetic patients; for that reason, diabetic patients could have a high risk of aspiration despite adequate fasting. This study aimed to compare ultrasound-guided measurement of residual gastric volume between diabetic and non-diabetic patients scheduled for elective surgery.
