Cerebral Palsy
Conditions
Brief summary
In patients with cerebral palsy, delayed gastric emptying and esophageal sphincter dysfunction are very commonly observed. Pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents causes aspiration pneumonia, which greatly affects patients' prognosis, including hospital stay and mortality. In the case of patients with cerebral palsy, there is a limitation in respiratory function, so more attention is required. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the risk of aspiration by measuring gastric volume after fasting for surgery in children with cerebral palsy.
