Summary
The risk of pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents remains a significant risk during anesthesia, especially in pregnant women, as they may often require surgery without having observed appropriate fasting. A bedside ultrasound assessment of the status of the gastric content would be of great value for the clinician. This prospective observational study aimed to (1) qualitatively and quantitatively describe the sonographic appearance of the gastric antrum in fasted high-risk pregnant women during the third trimester and (2) evaluate the relationship between demographic and clinical variables and the gastric antral cross-sectional area (CSA).
