Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyA comparative study using gastric ultrasound to evaluate the safety of shortening the fasting time before pediatric echocardiography: a randomized controlled non-inferiority study.
The objective of this study was to demonstrate that the gastric cross-sectional area (CSA) in the right lateral decubitus position (RLDP) during a 2-h fasting period is not larger than that during a conventional 4-h fasting period prior to pediatric echocardiography. ⋯ Two-hour fasting in pediatric patients who need an echocardiography did not increase major and minor complications and CSA significantly.
