An interventional study of Ice water in Fasting and Perioperative Pulmonary Aspiration, sponsored by Regionshospital Nordjylland. Completed at 1 site in Denmark. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-01-17.
Sponsored by Regionshospital Nordjylland · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Recommendation for fluid fasting is two hours prior to anaesthesia, however, less may be acceptable. The current study compares ingestion of 175 ml ice water prior to elective gastroscopy vs. standard fasting on gastric residual volume.
Recommendations regarding fasting requirements prior to general anaesthesia is two hours for fluids. Recent research indicates that reduced fluid fasting time may be acceptable. The current study aimed to compare ingestion of 175 ml ice water 15 minutes prior to procedure compared to standardized fasting regimen on residual gastric volumes in patients receiving elective gastroscopy, as these volumes may have implications for fasting requirements.

Ran from Mar 2020 to primary completion in Jun 2021, 15 months.
Of 144 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Fasting, half reached primary completion within 19 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 40. This study's 15 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 149 studies reached it within 18 months; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 40.
