Routine Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Assessment of Gastric Antral Contents in Traumatic Emergency Surgical Patients for Prevention of Aspiration Pneumonitis: A Randomized Clinical Trial 

2020-12-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Polytrauma patients are at a higher risk of delayed gastric emptying. To assess gastric volume, a reliable diagnostic tool is needed to prevent the occurrence of aspiration pneumonia, which remains a serious complication associated with anesthesia.
