All recruiting trials (6)
-
Gastric emptying and feeding tolerance in ICU patients by vasopressor dose
This study tests whether vasopressor dose affects how well stomach contents empty during tube feeding in critically ill patients.
-
Sipping water versus carbohydrate drinks while waiting for an elective caesarean
This will test whether sipping a carbohydrate drink instead of water while waiting for an elective caesarean changes stomach contents and improves recovery for pregnant women having caesarean delivery under regional anesthesia.
-
Does adding protein to a carbohydrate drink change stomach emptying in older adults?
This test will see if a drink with both protein and carbohydrates slows stomach emptying or causes stomach symptoms in people aged 60–90.
-
Gastric emptying in women in early labor with different drinks
This study tests how quickly the stomach empties in women in early labor after drinking water or a sports drink, while also looking at their hunger levels and whether they received epidural pain relief.
-
Comparing how different amounts of clear fluids affect stomach contents in children before surgery
This study is testing how different amounts of clear fluids before surgery can affect the stomach contents of children aged 13 to 17 to find the best way to keep them hydrated and safe.
-
Evaluating how quickly newborns and infants empty their stomachs after feeding
This study is testing how quickly healthy newborns and infants empty their stomachs after drinking clear liquids or formula to learn more about their digestion.
