Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To assess gastric residual volume in trauma patients scheduled for elective surgery following standard ASA fasting guidelinesTimepoint: Pre-operative period before induction of anaesthesia

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To compare gastric residual volume between trauma and non-trauma patients scheduled for elective surgery following standard ASA fasting guidelines 2. To assess risk of aspiration using the antral grading system developed by Perlas et al 3. To find correlation between the measured gastric residual volume with duration after trauma and any underlying co-morbidities (diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, hypothyroidism) in trauma patientsTimepoint: Pre-operative period, before induction of anaesthesia
