Gastric Volume Changes in Kids During Ventilation With Different Airway Devices

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study compares gastric volumes in pediatric patients receiving positive-pressure ventilation with three airway management strategies: endotracheal intubation, first-generation supraglottic airway, and second-generation supraglottic airway. Gastric ultrasonography is used at anesthesia induction to estimate gastric content and volume, with a goal of keeping volume below 1.25 mL/kg to reduce aspiration risk. Data are collected during routine preoperative care, including measurement of antral area and calculated gastric volume using a validated pediatric formula. The airway approach is determined by standard clinical practice, and any gastric leakage during ventilation is recorded. Eligible participants are children aged 1–10 years undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia, with ASA I–III status.
