Inclusion criteria

* Children between 0-18 years of age and ASA I-II patients will be included in the study.

Exclusion criteria

* Patients over 18 years of age, * ASA-III and above patients, * patients with gastrointestinal dysfunction, * patients who cannot assume the lateral decubitus position for gastric -ultrasound measurements, * those who have had previous lower esophageal or gastric surgery, * those who do not comply with institutional fasting guidelines, * those with concomitant systemic diseases affecting gastric emptying, * those with a high body mass index (BMI) \> 40 kg/m2, * those with gastroesophageal reflux or aspiration risk factors, and emergency cases with delayed gastric emptying despite appropriate fasting time will not be included in the study.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Qualitative assessment of residual gastric fluid volumepreoperative evaluation in the operating roomGrade 0: Defined as no contents visible in the antrum, the stomach is empty and the volume of the contents approaches zero. Grade 1: Visible clear fluid with a fluid volume of \<1.5 mL/kg. Grade 2: Defined as visible clear fluid with a fluid volume of \>1.5 mL/kg in both the supine and lateral decubitus positions.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Gastric content volumepreoperative evaluation in the operating roomIt will be calculated using a mathematical model validated in children aged 11 months to 18 years. Volume(mL/kg) = \[-7.8 + 0.035 × antral area measured in lateral decubitus position (mm2) + 0.127 × age (months)\] / body weight (kg). The R² value for this model was 0.60.
Antral cross-sectional areapreoperative evaluation in the operating roomIn both supine and lateral decubitus positions, between antral contractions, serosa to serosa, measuring the length diameter (D1) and the anteroposterior diameter (D2); Antral area = (π × D1 × D2) / 4 will be measured using the formula.
