Clinical Trial: Bedside Ultrasonic Assessment for Gastric Content in Patients With Upper GI Bleeding Undergoing Endoscopy: a Pilot Study
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Upper GI Bleeding
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Bedside Ultrasonic Assessment for Gastric Content in Patients With Upper GI Bleeding
Brief Summary:
Emerging studies have evaluated POCUS (Point of Care Ultrasound) for assessing of gastric content prior to anesthesia to reduce the risk of aspiration and demonstrated that POCUS can accurately identify presence of gastric food or fluid.Despite accumulating studies evaluating POCUS as a diagnostic modality to evaluate for gastric food content prior to anesthesia, there is no study to date that has evaluated the role of POCUS prior to endoscopy among patients with upper GI bleeding.Therefore, this study is to…
