Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare change in the gastric volume after application of HFNC from baseline gastric volume using ultrasoundTimepoint: 0 min, 10 minutes,20 minutes,30 minutes | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To detect the increase in peristaltic activity of gastric antrum, as a surrogate marker for gastric insufflationTimepoint: 0 min, 10 minutes;To find the correlation between flow rates and increase in gastric volumeTimepoint: 0 min, 10 minutes,20 minutes,30 minutes;To observe effect of HFNC on vitals( heart rate, Blood pressure, respiratory rate, SPO2), ABG parameters (PaCO2, PaO2, PaO2/FiO2, SaO2) and patient comfortTimepoint: 0 min, 30 minutes;To observe the incidence of "gastric air distension" defined by qualitative ultrasound as a distended antrum with air content that blurs the posterior gastric wallTimepoint: 0 min, 10 minutes,20 minutes,30 minutes | — |
