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.

Patients with a history of gastrointestinal surgery,

Pregnant women,

Patients with documented abnormalities in the upper gastrointestinal tract, such as achalasia

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Gastric Ultrasound

    Procedure/Surgery

    Preoperative 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

Group B: Non-diabetic patients1 intervention
