Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the gastric volume in patients with raised intracranial pressure undergoing ventriculoperitoneal shunt surgery. Timepoint: Once before the induction of anesthesia in the operation theatre

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Qualitative assessment of gastric content 2. Correlation of fasting interval and gastric volume assessment with USG. 3. Correlation between increased ICP as measured by ONSD and gastric volume status. 4. Correlation of patient’s GCS and gastric volume assessed by USG 5. Assess the incidence of clinically evident aspiration pneumonia described clinically as a. New onset hypoxemia post intubation b. Presence of gastric secretions/content in endotracheal tube following intubation. c. New onset radiological evidence of new or worsened infiltrates in chest X ray 24 hours after intubation. Timepoint: ultrasound will be done once before induction of anesthesia Tube contents will be checked once after induction of anesthesia chest Xray will be done 24 hours after surgery
