Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Gastric contents

Number of patients who were found to have gastric contents within the stomach during the upper endoscopy.

Time frame
Baseline

Secondary outcomes

1

Diagnosis of aspiration within 72 hours of procedure

Whether or not a patient was diagnosed with aspiration will be determined via chart review for 72 hours after the completion of upper endoscopy. A note documenting aspiration or an ICD code associated with aspiration will indicate that this outcome occurred.

Time frame
From the time of upper endoscopy until 72 hours post-procedure.
2

Aspiration pneumonitis diagnosis postoperatively

The number of patients who have a diagnosis of aspiration pneumonitis, as identified by the presence of ICD codes J69.0 or J69.8, postoperatively.

Time frame
72 hours after completion of upper endoscopy
3

Postprocedural ICU admission

The number of patients who were admitted to the ICU immediately after upper endoscopy.

Time frame
Immediately after upper endoscopy
