Agreement Between Sonographically Estimated Gastric Contents and Reported Last Meal on Fasting Status in Procedural Sedation: A Cross-Sectional Analytical Study
Key Points
Reported last meal timing aligns with sonographically estimated gastric contents, enhancing fasting status assessment.
The study found a significant correlation between reported meal intake and sonographic measurements in 150 cases.
Cross-sectional analysis evaluated the relationship between last meal reports and sonographic gastric contents using 150 procedural sedation cases.
These findings support improved protocols for fasting status, potentially reducing aspiration risk during sedation procedures.
