NCT05959135

Brief Summary

Perioperative aspiration is particularly concerning in pregnant women due to anatomical changes. To mitigate this risk, pre-anesthetic fasting is recommended, with varying guidelines. Gastric ultrasound can non-invasively assess stomach contents, and mathematical models help estimate stomach volumes using the gastric antral cross-sectional area (CSA). This study aims to compare CSA and estimated gastric volumes through ultrasound in fasting diabetic and non-diabetic pregnant women scheduled for cesarean section, as diabetes may affect stomach fullness. Additionally, it will investigate the relation between demographic and clinical variables and CSA values. This research can shed light on diabetes' influence on aspiration risk in pregnancy and evaluate fasting guidelines, underscoring the significance of gastric ultrasound.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Antral cross-sectional area (in square centimeters)

    Ultrasonographic gastric antral cross-sectional area in square centimeters=(D1 × D2 × π)/4. Anteroposterior diameter of the antrum from serosa to serosa: D1 (centimeters), craniocaudal diameter: D2 (centimeters)

    2 months

  • Perlas equation for gastric volume (mL)

    Perlas Gastric residual volume (mL) = 27.0 + 14.6 x right lateral CSA (cm2) - 1.28 x age (years).

    2 months

  • Roukhomovsky equation for gastric volume (mL)

    Roukhomovsky Gastric residual volume (mL) = 0.18 x right lateral CSA (mm2) + 0.11 x semi-recumbent CSA (mm2) - 62.4

    2 month

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Relationship between demographic/clinical features and CSA (cm2) / Perlas GV (mL/kg) / Roukhomovsky GV (mL/kg) values.

    2 months

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

It is planned to include 80 diabetic and non-diabetic patients aged 18-40 years, belonging to the ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) physical status class II-III, who are scheduled for elective cesarean surgery. Randomization will be carried out using a sealed envelope method. Two groups, each comprising 40 patients, will be formed and evaluated with preoperative gastric ultrasound.

You may qualify if:

  • Patients belonging to American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) physical status class II-III.
  • Aged between 18 and 40 years.
  • Gestational age greater than 37 weeks.
  • BMI\< 35 kg/m2

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients belonging to American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) physical status class III-IV.
  • Patients under the age of 18.
  • Patients taken to surgery on an emergency basis.
  • Relatives of patients who do not provide consent.
  • Pregnant patients with upper gastrointestinal (GI) diseases and pathologies.
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 35 kg/m2.
  • Patients with a history of using medications that affect gastrointestinal motility (e.g., opioids).
  • Severe organ dysfunction.
  • Pre-existing neurological deficits.
  • Intellectual disabilities.
  • Anatomical deformities.
