About this trial
During the preoperative preparation process, the fasting period for anesthesia is planned according to guidelines. According to standard guidelines, a fasting period of at least 2 hours is recommended for clear liquids, at least 6 hours for light meals, and at least 8 hours for a full meal. However, it has been reported that these guidelines are valid for healthy patients. It is thought that the planned fasting periods may vary in diabetic patients due to delayed gastric emptying. This study aims to calculate gastric volume under ultrasonography guidance and compare it with fasting time.

Trial design
Cohort
Prospective
Treatments tested in this trial
Gastric Ultrasound
Procedure/SurgeryPreoperative gastric ultrasonography will be performed to assess gastric antral cross-sectional area and estimate residual gastric volume in patients scheduled for elective surgery. The examination will be performed in the supine and right lateral decubitus positions using a low-frequency convex probe by experienced anesthesiologists.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Preoperative residual gastric volume
Assessment of whether standard preoperative fasting guidelines provide an empty stomach in diabetic patients by comparing estimated residual gastric volume measured with gastric ultrasonography between diabetic and non-diabetic patients scheduled for elective surgery
Secondary outcomes
Association between diabetes severity and gastric volume
Evaluation of the relationship between diabetes severity and preoperative residual gastric volume.
Baseline gastric volume comparison
Comparison of baseline gastric volume between diabetic and non-diabetic patients undergoing elective surgery.
