Summary
The aim of this study was to compare the risk of pulmonary aspiration assessed with gastric ultrasonography in elderly patients, undergoing elective surgery.
Detailed description
Recently, carbohydrate loading is suggested for enhanced recovery after surgery. Aging process often accompanies gastrointestinal dysmotility. Therefore, elderly patients might have undiagnosed gastro-esophageal reflux disease, or other gastrointestinal disorders. Moreover, because of their co-morbid underlying diseases and multi-drug effects, gastric emptying might be further delayed in the elderly patients. This study was designated to compared the risk of pulmonary aspiration in elderly patients, with gastric ultrasound between fasting group and carbohydrate loading group.
