Preoperative Gastric Ultrasound to Assess Stomach Contents and Aspiration Risk in Patients With Diabetes

4 de novembro de 2026 atualizado por: Renim Yüksel, Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi Gazi Yasargil Training and Research Hospital

Distribution of Residual Gastric Volume Assessed by Preoperative Gastric Ultrasound, Aspiration Risk, and Related Factors in Diabetic Patients Undergoing Elective Surgery: A Prospective Observational Study

Diabetes can slow down stomach emptying. As a result, some patients with diabetes may still have food or fluid in their stomach before surgery, even after following standard fasting rules. This can increase the risk of stomach contents entering the lungs (pulmonary aspiration) during anesthesia.

The aim of this prospective observational study is to measure the amount of residual stomach content using bedside gastric ultrasound in adult patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia. The study will also determine how often a high aspiration risk is present and identify clinical factors associated with it, including HbA1c level, duration of diabetes, use of GLP-1 receptor agonists, insulin use, fasting duration, and gastroparesis symptoms.

Gastric ultrasound is non-invasive, painless, and does not involve radiation. No drug or additional intervention will be given as part of this study. Patients found to be at high aspiration risk will be reported to the responsible anesthesiologist.

Descrição detalhada

This is a prospective, observational, single-center study to be conducted at the University of Health Sciences Gazi Yasargil Training and Research Hospital. Approximately 130 adult patients (aged 18-80 years, ASA physical status I-III) with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia will be enrolled after written informed consent.

Each patient will be assessed at a single time point in the preoperative holding area before induction of anesthesia. Gastric ultrasound will be performed in the supine and right lateral decubitus positions. The anteroposterior and craniocaudal diameters of the gastric antrum will be measured, and the antral cross-sectional area (CSA) will be calculated. Gastric volume (GV) will be estimated using the Perlas formula [GV (mL) = 27 + 14.6 x CSA - 1.28 x age] and normalized to body weight (mL/kg). Gastric content will be classified according to the Perlas grading system (Grade 0-2). Patients with Perlas Grade 2 and/or GV >1.5 mL/kg will be classified as having high aspiration risk.

Demographic data, diabetes-related clinical parameters (type and duration of diabetes, HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, insulin and oral antidiabetic use), details of GLP-1 receptor agonist use (drug, dose, frequency, and time since last dose), preoperative fasting durations, and gastroparesis symptoms assessed with the Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index (GCSI) will be recorded by a second investigator.

To minimize measurement bias, the ultrasound examination will be performed by a single trained anesthesiologist blinded to the patients' clinical data, while the investigator collecting clinical data will be blinded to the ultrasound findings.

Patients will be followed for 24-48 hours postoperatively through medical records for postoperative nausea and vomiting, fever, cough, dyspnea, pulmonary infiltrates on chest radiography, and clinical signs of aspiration pneumonia.

Factors associated with high aspiration risk will be analyzed using univariable and multivariable logistic regression. Correlations between gastric volume and HbA1c, diabetes duration, fasting duration, and GCSI score will be assessed using Pearson or Spearman correlation.

Diabetic Patients Undergoing Elective Surgery

dult patients (18-80 years, ASA physical status I-III) with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia, who will undergo a single preoperative gastric ultrasound assessment and 24-48 hours of postoperative follow-up for clinical signs of aspiration.

Bedside gastric ultrasound performed in the supine and right lateral decubitus positions in the preoperative holding area before induction of anesthesia. The antral cross-sectional area will be measured, gastric volume will be calculated using the Perlas formula and normalized to body weight (mL/kg), and gastric content will be classified using the Perlas grading system. The examination is non-invasive and part of a single assessment; no drug or treatment is administered.

Descrição da medida
Prazo
Residual Gastric Volume Assessed by Preoperative Gastric Ultrasound
Prazo: Preoperatively, before induction of anesthesia (single assessment)

Gastric ultrasound will be performed in both the supine and right lateral decubitus positions. Gastric volume will be estimated from the antral cross-sectional area measured in the right lateral decubitus position using the Perlas formula [GV (mL) = 27 + 14.6 x CSA - 1.28 x age] and normalized to body weight (mL/kg). The distribution of residual gastric volume will be reported as mean, standard deviation, median, interquartile range, and minimum-maximum values.
