Inclusion Criteria

Residual Gastric Fluid With Administering Clear Liquids Within Two Hours of Anesthesia in Children

Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that more than 50% of the patients receiving
enteric contrast material (ECM) < 2 hours of anesthesia/sedation would have residual gastric
fluid volume (GFV) > 0.4 ml/kg. The investigators also hypothesize that measuring GFV by
using region of interest in the CT technique is accurate compared to blind aspiration of the
gastric contents with a syringe and a multi-orificed orogastric tube.

The purpose of our study is to examine the residual gastric fluid volume when oral contrast
is administered within 2 hours of anesthesia /sedation and to validate the accuracy of
measuring the residual gastric volume by using region of interest in the CT image by using
blind aspiration of the gastric contents with a syringe and a multi-orificed orogastric tube.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients scheduled for CT abdomen with contrast and require anesthesia/sedation

- Subjects must be 1 month to 10 years of age (inclusive)

- The subject's legally authorized representative has given written informed consent to
participate in the study

Exclusion Criteria:

- Subjects violate the institution fasting guideline before anesthesia /sedation with
the exception of the oral contrast
