Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

ultrasonographic assessment of the effect of metoclopramide on morphology of the gastric antrum

Ultrasonographic evaluation was performed to study the impact of metoclopramide on the morphology of the gastric antrum. The cross-sectional area (CSA) of the antrum was calculated using the Bolondi et al. method with the formula:Antral CSA = π (AP × CC) / 4

Secondary outcomes

1

effect of metoclopramide on gastric grading was assessed using a three-point grading systems

The effect of metoclopramide on gastric grading was evaluated using a three-point grading system as follows: G-0: The antrum is flat and empty in both supine and right lateral positions (RLP). G-1: The antrum contains fluid in the right lateral position but is empty in the supine position. G-2: The antrum contains fluid in both supine and right lateral positions.
