Clinical recognition of a potentially full stomach and use of point-of-care gastric ultrasound (POCUS) by anesthesiologists: a Belgian survey

2024-01-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Pulmonary aspiration syndrome remains a noteworthy complication of general anesthesia, particularly in unfasted patients. Ensuring a high degree of certainty regarding gastric emptiness is strongly associated with a reduction in the likelihood of pulmonary aspiration. Gastric point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) allows both qualitative and quantitative assessment of gastric contents. <h4>Methods:...
