An observational study in Non-fasting Patients, Rapid Sequence Intubation and Anesthesia Intubation Complication, sponsored by University Hospital, Akershus. Completed at 1 site in Norway. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-11-21.
Sponsored by University Hospital, Akershus · Observational
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.
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.
University Hospital, Akershus is the lead sponsor of 123 studies on the registry; 28 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Patients that are assigned to rapid sequence intubation are considered non-fasting. Reasons for considering a patient non-fasting are among others: intake of food the last six hours, nausea, anxiety, preoperative intake of painkillers or reflux disease.
The ultrasound method we are using, are only valid for this specific population.
Exclusion Criteria:
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.
Other: Bedside ultrasound
Checking for gastric content using bedside ultrasound
High risk of aspiration
Detection of solids, or more than 1,5 mL/kg clear fluid in the gaster
Time frame: Immediately before intubation
Low risk of aspiration
Detection of empty stomach, or less than 1,5 mL/kg clear fluid in the gaster
Time frame: Immediately before intubation
