    • Assessment of residual gastric volume using point-of-care ultrasonography in adult patients who underwent elective surgery
    Authors: T.S., Chaitra; Sanjeev, Palta; Richa, Saroa;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    Aspiration pneumonitis remains a dreaded complication that may lead to almost 9% of anaesthesia-related deaths. The presence of gastric contents has always been a contributing factor to an increased risk of aspiration. Preoperative gastric ultrasound has been suggested as a modality for determining residual volume in special populations and conditions. We conducted an observational study to determine the gastric residual volume in preoperative patients of elective surgery with gastric ultrasound and to study its correlation with patient factors.
