Official title
An Observer Blinded Point-of-care Gastric Ultrasound Analysis of the Gastric Emptying Time of Orange Juice With and Without Pulp
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Preoperative fasting guidelines for anesthesia recommend waiting two hours after ingesting a clear liquid and six hours after ingesting a light meal. Due to the presence of pulp, orange juice is considered a light meal by current guidelines which means a patient must wait six hours before undergoing general anesthesia. This study will use ultrasound of stomach of healthy volunteers to determine if the presence of pulp actually increases the transit time for orange juice.
