The aim of this study was to predict the effect of gastric antrum diameter before extubation on intra-abdominal pressure changes and consequently on the risk of pulmonary aspiration in patients undergoing elective spinal surgery under general anaesthesia in the prone position in the Neurosurgery Operating Theatre of the Ministry of Health Ankara City Hospital and to take precautions accordingly. Gastric antrum diameter and intraabdominal pressure measurements may contribute to the improvement of anaesthetic practice by reducing the risk of pulmonary aspiration and additional complications.
