Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Using bedside ultrasound, the investigators will examine gastric content in non-fasting patients assigned to rapid sequence intubation (RSI). The procedure will be done immediately before intubation. The percentage of non-fasting patients who actually have gastric content will be determined.

Identifying gastric content is critical because presence increases the risk of pulmonary aspiration during intubation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Quantitative gastric content will be registered by measuring the cross section area of antrum using bedside ultrasound. The area and the patients age will be applied to estimate gastric volume.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Non-fasting patients

We will examine non-fasting patients using bedside ultrasound. First we examine the gaster in a supine position. Then we repeat the procedure in a right lateral position.
