Point-of-care Gastric Ultrasound for Fracture Surgery

Sponsor: Haseki Training and Research Hospital

Summary

Although there are fasting guidelines offered by the American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) for managing preoperative patient assessment, some patients may need to be more cautious about the risk of aspiration. Since ultrasound has been a part of perioperative anesthesiology practice, it is simple to assess gastric content preoperatively with bedside ultrasonography (USG). More research is necessary to define elective surgeries with a possible risk of aspiration. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the adequacy of standard fasting protocols in post-traumatic fracture surgery by measuring and evaluating gastric volume and content with USG in the preoperative operating room.
