RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Practice on fasting prior to extubation in critically ill patients is variable. Efficacy of fasting in reducing gastric volume has not been well established. The primary objective of this study was to assess the effect of 4 h of fasting on prevalence of empty stomach using gastric ultrasonography in critically ill subjects who are fasted for extubation. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the change in gastric volumes during 4 h of fasting and to determine factors associated with empty stomach after fasting. METHODS: This was a single-center, prospective, observational study on adult ICU subjects who were enterally fed for at least 6 h continuously and mechanically ventilated. Gastric ultrasound was performed immediately prior to commencement of fasting, after 4 h of fasting, and after nasogastric (NG) aspiration after 4 h of fasting. An empty stomach was defined as a gastric volume ≤ 1.5 mL/kg. RESULTS: Forty subjects were recruited, and 38 (95%) had images suitable for analysis. The prevalence of empty stomach increased after 4 h of fasting (25 [65.8%] vs 31 [81.6%], P = .041) and after 4 h of fasting with NG aspiration (25 [65.8%] vs 34 [89.5%], P = .008). There was a significant difference in median (interquartile range) gastric volume per body weight between before fasting and 4 h after fasting (1.0 [0.5-1.8] mL/kg vs 0.4 [0.2-1.0] mL/kg, P < .001). No patient factors were associated with higher prevalence of empty stomach after 4 h of fasting. CONCLUSIONS: Most mechanically ventilated subjects had empty stomachs prior to fasting for extubation. Fasting for 4 h further increased the prevalence of empty stomach at extubation to > 80%.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Failure to adhere to perioperative fasting requirements increases aspiration risk and can lead to delay or cancellation of surgery. Point of care gastric ultrasound may guide decision-making to delay, cancel or proceed with surgery. METHODS: This study aimed to describe gastric contents using point of care gastric ultrasound in pediatric patients with known fasting guideline violations presenting for elective surgery. This was a single-center retrospectivechart review of gastric ultrasound scans in patients presenting for elective surgeries with "nothing by mouth" violation (per fasting guidelines) or unclear fasting status. The primary outcome is description of gastric contents using point of care ultrasound. The ultrasound findings were classified as low-risk for aspiration (empty, clear fluid < 1.5 ml/kg), high-risk (solids, clear fluid > 1.5 ml/kg), or inconclusive study. Gastric ultrasound findings were communicated to the attending anesthesiologist. For patients proceeding without delay the estimated time saved was defined as the difference between ultrasound scan time and presumed case start time based on American Society of Anesthesiologists fasting guidelines. RESULTS: We identified 106 patients with a median age of 4.8 years. There were 31 patients (29.2%) that had ultrasound finding of high-risk gastric contents. These patients had cases that were delayed, cancelled or proceeded with rapid sequence intubation. Sixty-six patients (62.3%) were determined to be low-risk gastric contents and proceeded with surgery without delay. For these patients, a median of 2.6 h was saved. No aspiration events were recorded for any patients. CONCLUSIONS: It is feasible to use preoperative point of care gastric ultrasound to determine stomach contents and risk-stratify pediatric patients presenting for elective surgical procedures with fasting non-adherence. Preoperative gastric ultrasound may have a role in determining changes in anesthetic management in this patient population.

PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to demonstrate that the gastric cross-sectional area (CSA) in the right lateral decubitus position (RLDP) during a 2-h fasting period is not larger than that during a conventional 4-h fasting period prior to pediatric echocardiography. METHODS: 93 patients aged under 3 years scheduled for echocardiography under sedation were enrolled and randomly allocated into two groups; 2-h fasting vs 4-h fasting. For group 4 h (n = 46), the patients were asked to be fasted for all types of liquid for more than 4 h, while group 2 h (n = 47) were asked to be fasted for all types of liquid for 2 h before echocardiography. Gastric ultrasound was performed before echocardiography, and CSARLDP was measured. We compared CSARLDP, incidence of at-risk stomach, fasting duration, and the incidence of major (pulmonary aspiration, aspiration pneumonia) and minor complications (nausea, retching, and vomiting, apnea, and bradycardia) between two groups. RESULTS: The mean difference of CSARLDP (group 2 h-group 4 h) was 0.49 (- 0.18 to 1.17) cm2, and it was within the non-inferiority margin (Δ = 2.1 cm2). There was no difference in the incidence of at-risk stomach (P = 0.514). There was no significant difference in the incidence of major and minor complications between the two groups. CONCLUSION: Two-hour fasting in pediatric patients who need an echocardiography did not increase major and minor complications and CSA significantly.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists are very popular and useful medications for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity. Potent gastric emptying delay is common with these medications, serving as a major contributor to the postprandial glycemic control and weight loss benefits of these medications. Recently, multiple case reports and studies indicating safety risks for these medications and their use in patients planning to undergo general anesthesia have been published, as retained gastric contents can lead to intraoperative aspiration. New guidelines for these medications have been released to guide clinical practice for anesthesiologists. Some degree of preoperative cessation of these medications is required. At this time, the ideal window for cessation of these medications to optimize clinical efficacy while reducing aspiration risks has not yet been well elaborated on. Aspiration of gastric contents can still occur despite appropriate preoperative fasting in patients taking GLP-1 agonists. Gastric ultrasound appears to be an effective and objective way of preoperatively assessing a patient's stomach contents to make decisions regarding anesthetic management for patients prescribed these medications. This practice is limited by a general lack of training and implementation in current anesthesiology practice.
RESUMEN
Background: Airway management for nonelective surgical procedures in the setting of trauma, pain, and opioid use can be complicated by the potential for aspiration due to delayed gastric emptying. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) remains a useful tool for evaluating gastric content and volume in various clinical settings. The authors evaluated gastric volume and content in children scheduled for urgent and semi-urgent procedures to assess their aspiration risk. Methods: After obtaining consent, gastric POCUS was performed in the preoperative holding area for pediatric patients scheduled for both elective and nonelective surgery. Qualitative and quantitative measurements of the gastric antrum were taken, and the risk of gastric aspiration was calculated. Additional data collected included patient demographics, the type of surgery, nil per os (NPO) status at the time of surgery, NPO status at the time of injury, and administration of opioids. Results: The study cohort included 100 patients ranging in age from 3 to 17 years old (mean age 9.2 years). Out of these 100 patients, gastric scanning was successfully conducted in 98 patients. Sixteen of fifty-nine nonelective patients (27%) had received opioids for pain control prior to surgery. Among the 34 patients who had suffered an acute injury, 7 (21%) had been NPO for <8 hours at the time of the injury. Ninety-nine out of hundred patients had been NPO for at least 6 hours at the time of the gastric ultrasound. Based on our gastric ultrasound findings, all patients who were appropriately NPO had either Grade 0 or Grade 1 risk for aspiration, indicating a low risk of aspiration. Conclusions: The preliminary data show that when patients presenting for nonelective surgery are appropriately NPO, they may have a low risk of aspiration. This information may help guide the choice of anesthetic induction technique, particularly when concerns exist about the safety of a rapid sequence induction. It allows for a more stable and controlled induction of anesthesia.
RESUMEN
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the gastric contents and gastric residual volume in patient with end-stage renal failure by gastric ultrasound. DESIGN: Prospective observational study. SETTING: Tertiary care teaching hospital. PATIENTS: Adults of either gender with BMI < 40 kg/m2 with end-stage renal failure scheduled to undergo arteriovenous graft or fistula. INTERVENTIONS & MEASUREMENTS: The cross-sectional area of the gastric antrum was measured by gastric ultrasound with patient in both supine and right lateral decubitus positions. The volume of the gastric contents were calculated using suitable validated formula. In addition, the nature of the gastric contents was also determined by gastric ultrasound. MAIN RESULTS: The incidence of delayed gastric emptying was found to be 57.7% in the population studied despite following the prescribed preoperative standard fasting guidelines. CONCLUSIONS: There is a high incidence of delayed gastric emptying in patients with end-stage renal failure presenting for surgery which may predispose them to risk of pulmonary aspiration perioperatively.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Interpretation of gastric ultrasound relies on the use of a clinical algorithm that combines qualitative analysis of the gastric antrum contents with the calculation of the volume of fluid contents. This reference method may be difficult to apply in the parturient. We therefore aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of a simple qualitative assessment in the supine position for the diagnosis of high-risk gastric contents in the parturient. We also assessed the diagnostic accuracy of a composite scale and another clinical algorithm based on a mathematical model different to that used in the reference method. DESIGN: Prospective observational cohort study. SETTING: University hospital, Lyon, France. PATIENTS: Adult women admitted to the delivery room. INTERVENTIONS: Qualitative and quantitative gastric ultrasound examination within the first hour following admission. MEASUREMENTS: With respect to the reference method, the diagnostic accuracy of a simple qualitative assessment for the diagnosis of high-risk gastric contents was assessed. The diagnostic accuracy of a composite scale and another clinical algorithm, and the agreement between each approach were also assessed. MAIN RESULTS: A total of 235 parturients were included and analyzed. The simple qualitative assessment led to conclusive ultrasound assessment in 233 (99%) women, while the reference method led to conclusive assessment in 213 (91%) women (P < 0.05). The sensitivity and the specificity of the simple qualitative assessment were 97% (95%CI: 93 to 99%) and 96% (95%CI: 90 to 99%), respectively. These were not significantly different from those of the composite scale and the clinical algorithm. The four approaches showed almost perfect agreement with each other. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that simple qualitative assessment may be useful in clinical practice to help the anesthesiologist in the assessment of gastric contents status and risk of aspiration.

BACKGROUND: This multicentre prospective observational study sought to determine the prevalence and the factors associated with high-risk gastric contents in women admitted to the maternity unit for childbirth, and to identify the clinical situations in which ultrasound assessment of gastric contents would be most helpful (i.e. when the prevalence of high-risk gastric contents is close to 50%). METHODS: Ultrasound assessments of gastric contents were performed within the first hour after admission to the maternity unit. The prevalence of high-risk gastric contents was calculated and variables associated with high-risk gastric contents were identified using logistic regression analyses. RESULTS: A total of 1003 parturients were analysed. The prevalence of high-risk gastric contents was 70% (379/544; 95% confidence interval: 66-74%) in women admitted in spontaneous labour and 65% (646/1003; 95% confidence interval: 61-67%) in the whole cohort. Lower gestational age, increased fasting duration for solids, and elective Caesarean delivery were independently associated with reduced likelihood of high-risk gastric contents. In women admitted in spontaneous labour and in the whole cohort, the prevalence of high-risk gastric contents ranged from 85% to 86% for fasting duration for solids <6 h, 63%-68% for fasting 6-8 h, 54%-55% for fasting 8-12 h, and 47%-51% for fasting ≥12 h. CONCLUSIONS: Around two-thirds of parturients had high-risk gastric contents within the first hour after admission to the maternity unit. Our results suggest that gastric emptying for solids continues in labouring women, and that gastric ultrasound would be most helpful when fasting duration is ≥8 h.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies demonstrated conflicting results regarding the determinants of gastric emptying for fluids. Our aim was to compare gastric emptying times of fluids with different caloric and nutrient content. METHODS: Healthy adult volunteers underwent gastric ultrasound assessment for 4 h after consuming beverages with different caloric and nutrient content using a crossover design (oat drink with 3% fat [310 kcal], mango juice [310 kcal], oat drink with 0.5% fat [185 kcal], and blackcurrant juice [175 kcal]). Gastric emptying time, gastric content volume, and the area under the curve (AUC) of gastric content volume-time profiles were calculated. RESULTS: Eight females and eight males completed the study protocol. The mean (sd) gastric emptying times were 89 (32) min for blackcurrant juice, 127 (54) min for oat drink with 0.5% fat, 135 (36) min for mango juice, and 152 (40) min for oat drink with 3% fat. Gastric emptying times were slower for oat drink with 3% fat (P=0.007) and mango juice (P=0.025) than for blackcurrant juice. At 1 h after ingestion, gastric content volume was greater for mango juice (P=0.021) and oat drink with 3% fat (P=0.003) than for blackcurrant juice. The AUC was greater for oat drink with 3% fat than mango juice (P=0.029), oat drink with 0.5% fat (P=0.004), and blackcurrant juice (P=0.002), and for mango juice than blackcurrant juice (P=0.019). CONCLUSIONS: Caloric and nutrient content significantly affected gastric emptying times. A high-calorie fruit juice (mango) exhibited delayed emptying times compared with a low-calorie fruit juice (blackcurrant). CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: ISRCTN17147574.

Objective To investigate whether the gastric juice volume(GV)of obese women who took carbohydrate 2 hours before operation was equal to or less than that of those who are not routine drinking.Methods Obese patients undergoing elective laparoscopic gynecological surgery under general anesthesia with BMI of 28-32 kg/m2 and ASA grade of Ⅰ-Ⅱ,aged 18-65 years old were selected.The patients were divid-ed into the carbohydrate group(CHO group)and the fasting group(Control group)by random number table method,with 51 cases in each group.The Control group was fasted from 11 pm before surgery,while the CHO group was given 300 mL of carbohydrate orally 2 hours before anesthesia.The main outcome measure was compared with a non-inferiority limit(△)of 17 mL and the mean difference in gastric juice volume between the two groups in the right lateral decubitus position(RLDP)examined by gastric ultrasound.The secondary outcome measures included CSA in right lateral position under gastric ultrasound,Perlas classification,GV/kg,gastric juice pH value,patient satisfaction and gastric emptying time.Results The mean difference of gas-tric juice volume was 7.18 mL(95%CI:-0.06 to 14.43),and the upper limit of 95%CI was lower than the preset non-inferiority limit(△=17.05 mL).There was no statistically significant difference in the mean(standard deviation)gastric juice volume between the control group and the CHO group[40(26,66)mL vs.58(34,65)mL;P=0.43].The gastric volume GV/kg was similar in the two groups(P=0.66),and there was no significant difference in the number distribution of Perlas grades between the two groups(P>0.05).There was significant difference in patient satisfaction between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion Ac-cording to the evaluation of gastric ultrasound,compared with fasting at midnight,300ml carbohydrate intake at 2 hours before surgery is not inferior to fasting at midnight in terms of gastric fluid volume in obese women as assessed by gastric ultrasound.
RESUMEN
Pulmonary aspiration is a severe complication in patients receiving anesthesia for surgical procedures. The risk and severity of aspiration are significantly higher in the presence of substantial gastric contents. Bedside ultrasound imaging of the gastric antrum is emerging as a rapid and valuable method to evaluate gastric contents before surgery. Rapid gastric ultrasound using a three-category grading system promotes timely decision-making to help in emergent or urgent surgeries by identifying patients with potentially high gastric volumes or solid food contents. In emergent cases with limited time, a single ultrasound view of the gastric antrum is still likely to yield helpful information. In this report, we argue that bedside ultrasound offers a more reliable assessment of gastric contents than assumptions based on time-based fasting guidelines.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Proper mask ventilation is important to prevent air inflow into the stomach during induction of general anesthesia, and it is difficult to send airflow only through the trachea without gastric inflation. Changes in gastric insufflation according to mask ventilation during anesthesia induction were compared. METHODS: In this prospective, randomized, single-blind study, 230 patients were analyzed to a facemask-ventilated group (Ventilation group) or no-ventilation group (Apnea group) during anesthesia induction. After loss of consciousness, pressure-controlled ventilation at an inspiratory pressure of 15 cmH2O was performed for two minutes with a two-handed mask-hold technique for Ventilation group. For Apnea group, only the facemask was fitted to the face for one minute with no ventilation. Next, endotracheal intubation was performed. The gastric cross-sectional area (CSA, cm2) was measured using ultrasound before and after induction. After pneumoperitoneum with carbon dioxide, gastric insufflation of the surgical view was graded by the surgeon for each group. RESULTS: Increase of postinduction antral CSA on ultrasound were not significantly different between Ventilation group and Apnea group (0.04 ± 0.3 and 0.02 ± 0.28, p-value = 0.225). Additionally, there were no significant differences between the two groups in surgical grade according to surgeon's judgement. CONCLUSIONS: Pressure-controlled ventilation at an inspiratory pressure of 15 cmH2O for two minutes did not increase gastric antral CSA and insufflation of stomach by laparoscopic view.

BACKGROUND: One significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing endotracheal intubation is the aspiration of gastric contents. Its prevalence is more in the emergency than in elective settings. Point-of-care gastric ultrasound (GUS) is a non-invasive bedside ultrasonogram that provides both qualitative and quantitative information about the stomach contents. The diagnostic accuracy of GUS in terms of gastric parameters (measured antral diameters, antral cross-sectional area, and calculated gastric volume) to predict aspiration is yet unknown. We aim to determine this in the patients undergoing urgent emergency intubation (UEI) in the emergency department. METHODOLOGY: A prospective observational study was conducted at the emergency department of a tertiary healthcare center in India. Patients requiring UEI were identified and a bedside gastric ultrasound was done in the right lateral decubitus position using low frequency curved array probe. The qualitative data and the antral diameters (anteroposterior and craniocaudal) were assessed. The patient's clinical parameters and history regarding the last meal were noted. The cross-sectional area of gastric antrum was calculated using CSA = (AP × CC) π/4. The gastric volume is estimated using Perla's formula: GV = 27.0 + 14.6(RLD CSA) -1.28(age). RESULTS: A hundred patients requiring urgent endotracheal intubation were enrolled in the study. Visible aspiration was more in participants with a distended gastric status (χ2 = 16.880, p = < 0.001). The median gastric volume in the patients who aspirated was 146.37 mL, and it ranged from 111.59 mL-201.01 mL. Using ROC analysis, a cut-off of CC diameter ≥ 2.35 cm (sensitivity 88%, specificity 91%) and AP diameter ≥ 5.15 cm (sensitivity 88%, specificity 87%) predicts aspiration. A calculated USG CSA cut-off ≥ 9.27cm2 (sensitivity 100%, specificity 87%) and an USG gastric volume ≥ 111.594 mL (sensitivity 100%, a specificity 92%) predicts aspiration. CONCLUSION: Point-of-care gastric ultrasound is an useful non-invasive bedside tool for risk stratification for aspiration in busy emergency rooms. We present threshold gastric antral parameters that can be used to predict aspiration along with its diagnostic accuracy. This can help the treating ED physician take adequate precautions, decide on intubation techniques and treatment modifications to aid in better patient management.

Point-of-care gastric sonography offers an objective approach to assessing individual pulmonary aspiration risk before induction of general anaesthesia. We aimed to evaluate the potential impact of routine pre-operative gastric ultrasound on peri-operative management in a cohort of adult patients undergoing elective or emergency surgery at a single centre. According to pre-operative gastric ultrasound results, patients were classified as low risk (empty, gastric fluid volume ≤ 1.5 ml.kg-1 body weight) or high risk (solid, mixed or gastric fluid volume > 1.5 ml.kg-1 body weight) of aspiration. After sonography, examiners were asked to indicate changes in aspiration risk management (none; more conservative; more liberal) to their pre-defined anaesthetic plan and to adapt it if patient safety was at risk. We included 2003 patients, 1246 (62%) of which underwent elective and 757 (38%) emergency surgery. Among patients who underwent elective surgery, 1046/1246 (84%) had a low-risk and 178/1246 (14%) a high-risk stomach, with this being 587/757 (78%) vs. 158/757 (21%) among patients undergoing emergency surgery, respectively. Routine pre-operative gastric sonography enabled changes in anaesthetic management in 379/2003 (19%) of patients, with these being a more liberal approach in 303/2003 (15%). In patients undergoing elective surgery, pre-operative gastric sonography would have allowed a more liberal approach in 170/1246 (14%) and made a more conservative approach indicated in 52/1246 (4%), whereas in patients undergoing emergency surgery, 133/757 (18%) would have been managed more liberally and 24/757 (3%) more conservatively. We showed that pre-operative gastric ultrasound helps to identify high- and low-risk situations in patients at risk of aspiration and adds useful information to peri-operative management. Our data suggest that routine use of pre-operative gastric ultrasound may improve individualised care and potentially impact patient safety.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have become increasingly popular as both diabetic and weight loss therapies. One effect of this class of medication is delayed gastric emptying, which may impact the risk of aspiration during anesthesia delivery. METHODS: In this prospective study, we used gastric ultrasound to evaluate the presence of solid gastric contents in both supine and lateral positions after an eight-hour fast in those taking GLP-1RA compared with controls. Participants underwent a second ultrasound evaluation two hours later after drinking 12 fluid ounces of water (approximately 350 mL). RESULTS: Twenty adults voluntarily enrolled, giving a total of ten participants in each group. In the supine position, 70% of semaglutide participants and 10% of control participants had solids present on gastric ultrasound (risk ratio [RR], 3.50; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.26 to 9.65; P = 0.02.) In the lateral position, 90% of semaglutide participants and 20% of control participants had solids identified on gastric ultrasound (RR, 7.36; 95% CI, 1.13 to 47.7; P = 0.005). Two hours after drinking clear liquids, the two groups did not differ in the lateral position, but in the supine position, 90% of control group participants were rated as empty compared with only 30% of semaglutide group participants (P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: This study provides preliminary evidence that GLP-1RAs may affect gastric emptying and residual gastric contents following an overnight fast and two hours after clear liquids, which may have implications for aspiration risk during anesthetic care.
RéSUMé: OBJECTIF: Les agonistes des récepteurs du peptide-1 de type glucagon (GLP-1) (AR-GLP-1) sont de plus en plus populaires comme traitements du diabète et pour la perte de poids. L'un des effets de cette classe de médicaments est le retard de la vidange gastrique, ce qui peut avoir un impact sur le risque d'aspiration pendant l'administration de l'anesthésie. MéTHODE: Dans cette étude prospective, nous avons utilisé l'échographie gastrique pour évaluer la présence de contenu gastrique solide en décubitus dorsal et latéral après un jeûne de huit heures chez les personnes prenant des AR-GLP-1 par rapport à un groupe témoin. Les participant·es ont passé une deuxième échographie deux heures plus tard, après avoir bu 12 onces liquides d'eau (environ 350 mL). RéSULTATS: Vingt personnes adultes se sont inscrites volontairement, soit un total de dix participant·es dans chaque groupe. En décubitus dorsal, 70 % des personnes du groupe sémaglutide et 10 % des personnes du groupe témoin présentaient des solides à l'échographie gastrique (risque relatif [RR], 3,50; intervalle de confiance [IC] à 95 %, 1,26 à 9,65; P = 0,02). En décubitus latéral, 90 % des personnes du groupe sémaglutide et 20 % des personnes du groupe témoin présentaient des solides à l'échographie gastrique (RR, 7,36; IC 95 %, 1,13 à 47,7; P = 0,005). Deux heures après avoir bu des liquides clairs, le contenu gastrique évalué ne différait pas entre les deux groupes en position latérale, mais en décubitus dorsal, l'estomac de 90 % des participant·es du groupe témoin a été jugé vide, comparativement à seulement 30 % chez les participant·es du groupe sémaglutide (P = 0,02). CONCLUSION: Cette étude procure des données préliminaires selon lesquelles les AR-GLP-1 pourraient affecter la vidange gastrique et le contenu gastrique résiduel après un jeûne d'une nuit et deux heures après l'ingestion de liquides clairs, ce qui pourrait avoir des implications quant au risque d'aspiration pendant les soins anesthésiques.

BACKGROUND: We aimed to assess the accuracy of ultrasonographic measurement of the antral cross-sectional area (CSA) in the preprocedural evaluation of gastric contents and volume in fasted patients > 60 yr of age scheduled for gastroscopy under sedation. METHODS: We included n = 81 patients > 60 yr of age and n = 79 younger controls scheduled to undergo elective gastroscopy in a prospective cohort study. A gastric ultrasound examination was performed to measure the antral CSA in both semisitting and right lateral decubitus (RLD) positions. Afterward, patients were graded using the Perlas qualitative grading scale. The actual gastric volume was endoscopically suctioned. Full stomach was defined as gastric volume > 1.5 mL·kg-1 and/or the presence of solid particles. We constructed receiver operating characteristic curves to determine the accuracy of ultrasonographic measurement of RLD CSA to detect a gastric volume > 1.5 mL·kg-1 and calculated the diagnostic test attributes of RLD CSA for the identification of a gastric volume > 1.5 mL·kg-1 RESULTS: The incidence of full stomach was 8/81 (9.8%) in patients > 60 yr of age and 1/79 (1.2%) in young patients (risk difference, 8.6%; 95% CI, 1.3 to 15.8; P = 0.03). The cut-off value of RLD CSA was 10.4 cm2 for the detection of gastric volume > 1.5 mL·kg-1 in patients > 60 yr of age, with a sensitivity of 75%, a specificity of 100%, a positive predictive value of 100%, and a negative predictive value of 98.6%. CONCLUSION: Patients > 60 yr of age scheduled for gastroscopy under sedation had a higher incidence of a full stomach detected with ultrasound compared with a younger cohort, which is potentially associated with a higher aspiration risk. We calculated a cut-off value of RLD CSA for detecting gastric volume in patients > 60 yr of age of approximately 10 cm2, which may help to quickly assess patients at risk of aspiration.

RéSUMé: CONTEXTE: Notre objectif était d'évaluer la précision de la mesure échographique de la section transversale antrale (CSA) dans l'évaluation préprocédurale du contenu et du volume gastriques chez les patient·es à jeun > 60 ans devant bénéficier d'une gastroscopie sous sédation. MéTHODE: Nous avons inclus n = 81 patient·es > 60 ans et n = 79 patient·es témoins plus jeunes devant bénéficier d'une gastroscopie non urgente dans une étude de cohorte prospective. Une échographie gastrique a été réalisée pour mesurer la CSA antrale en position semi-assise et en décubitus latéral droit (DLD). Par la suite, la patientèle a été classée à l'aide de l'échelle de classement qualitatif de Perlas. Le volume gastrique réel était aspiré par endoscopie. Un estomac plein a été défini comme un volume gastrique > 1,5 mL·kg1 et/ou la présence de particules solides. Nous avons construit des courbes de la fonction d'efficacité du récepteur (courbes ROC) afin de déterminer la précision de la mesure échographique de la CSA en DLD pour détecter un volume gastrique > 1,5 mL·kg1 et calculé les attributs du test diagnostique de la CSA en DLD pour identifier un volume gastrique > 1,5 mL·kg1. RéSULTATS: L'incidence d'estomac plein était de 8/81 (9,8 %) chez les patient·es > 60 ans et 1/79 (1,2 %) chez les patient·es jeunes (différence de risque, 8,6 %; IC 95 %, 1,3 à 15,8; P = 0,03). La valeur seuil de la CSA en DLD était de 10,4 cm2 pour la détection d'un volume gastrique > 1,5 mL·kg1 chez la patientèle > 60 ans, avec une sensibilité de 75 %, une spécificité de 100 %, une valeur prédictive positive de 100 % et une valeur prédictive négative de 98,6 %. CONCLUSION: La patientèle > 60 ans devant bénéficier d'une gastroscopie sous sédation avait une incidence plus élevée d'estomac plein détecté par échographie par rapport à une cohorte plus jeune, ce qui est potentiellement associé à un risque d'aspiration plus élevé. Nous avons calculé une valeur seuil de la CSA en DLD pour détecter le volume gastrique chez les patient·es > 60 ans d'environ 10 cm2, ce qui peut aider à évaluer rapidement les personnes à risque d'aspiration.
