About this trial

Gastric content is a key risk factor for aspiration during anesthesia. Although standard fasting times are recommended, various factors-including GLP-1 receptor agonists,-can delay gastric emptying. Gastric ultrasound enables real-time, non-invasive assessment of gastric volume and can help tailor perioperative management. The aim of this study explores the effects of different meal types and physical activity on gastric emptying in healthy individuals.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Physical activity after different type of meals

    Behavioral

    Standardized physical activity (walking) after consuming one of three meal types (vegetable-based, meat-based, dairy-based). Ultrasound of gastric volume will be performed at 3 and 6 hour between walking sessions.

Secondary outcomes

1

Antral cross-sectional area (CSA)

Changes in CSA (cm²)

Time frame
at 15 minutes, 3 hours, and 6 hours post-meal
2

Estimated gastric volume (GV)

Calculated from CSA and age using validated formula

Time frame
