Gastric Emptying in Pediatric Patients
Ultrasound imaging will be used to (1) evaluate gastric antral volumes in children presenting
for anesthesia who have been fasted, and (2) to evaluate time for gastric emptying in
healthy, fasting newborns, and infants following feeding of clear liquids and/or milk
(including breast or formula).
for anesthesia who have been fasted, and (2) to evaluate time for gastric emptying in
healthy, fasting newborns, and infants following feeding of clear liquids and/or milk
(including breast or formula).
This dual-purpose study will have two parts. The first involves recruitment of fasted
patients presenting for elective procedures at CHONY. These patients will undergo one
ultrasound prior to their elective procedure after induction of general anesthesia.
The second part of the study involves serial ultrasounds over several visits. Healthy
newborns in the Newborn Nursery will be recruited to conduct this study. The initial pilot
period will study a total of 50 healthy newborns who will be given formula feeding of known
volume, and then serial ultrasound imaging of gastric antral volume will be performed until
gastric emptying. Study willl perform follow up of these newborns at two later time intervals
(between ages 4-6 months, and 9-12 months). The purpose of follow-up is to evaluate whether
there are age-related changes in gastric emptying.
