U.S., Jan. 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07375680) titled 'HbA1c Levels and Gastric Emptying Assessed by Gastric Ultrasound' on Jan. 22.
Brief Summary: Delayed gastric emptying increases the risk of pulmonary aspiration during general anesthesia. Diabetes mellitus and poor long-term glycemic control have been associated with impaired gastric motility. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a marker of long-term glycemic control; however, its relationship with gastric emptying in surgical patients is not fully understood.
This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the association between HbA1c levels and gastric emptying using preoperative bedside gastric ultrasonography. Adult patients sched...
