Evaluation of Gastric Volume and pH Changes in Gastroscopy Patients

Turkey (Türkiye)405 participantsStarted 2023-01-01

Plain-language summary

Pulmonary aspiration is a rare but serious complication that can result in 57% mortality and 14% permanent damage. Fasting rules (solid foods 6-8 hours, clear liquids 2 hours) determined by anesthesia associations are applied to prevent pulmonary aspiration by reducing gastric volume. Gastric volume (≥ 0.5 mL/kg) and pH (\<2.5) values are shown to be determinants in the occurrence of pulmonary complications .
