Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To compare the increase in the gastric volume after 1 hour of pre-procedural drink(carbohydrate or water) from that of after 6-8hrs of fasting in both groups, assessed ultrasonographically.Timepoint: Gastric ultrasound will be done immediately before fluid, immediately after fluid, 30 mins and 1 hour after drinking fluid.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1.To compare blood glucose levels. 2.To compare Gastric pH in both groups. 3.To evaluate parental and childâ??s satisfaction scores in both the groups. 4.To compare the quality of emergence from anesthesia. 5.To compare the incidence of PONV in both the groups. Timepoint: 1.GRBS will be checked immediatly before induction, one hour after induction and immediate postop. 2.Gatric pH will be measured one minute after induction. 3.Satisfaction scores will be measured one hour after extubation in recovery. 4.Emergence will be assesed during extubation and one hour after extubation. 5.PONV will be assesed using apfel score postop.	—
