Overview

The investigators plan to do serial sonographic examinations of the gastric antrum (quantity, quality) to estimate the gastric emptying time and dependant factors after traumatic injurys.

Description

The investigators plan to do serial sonographic examinations of the gastric antrum (quantity, quality) in patients suffering from a relevant traumatic injury. Patients which are admitted to the emergency department with a corresponding history are considered for inclusion. Patient with life-threatening injuries are excluded. After inclusion, the investigators plan to carry out gastric ultrasound (POCUS) all 2 hours until the operative treatment (maximal 5 examinations). To identify factors which may be correlated with delayed gastric emptying several demographic and patient related factors are collected.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • relevant traumatic injury

Exclusion Criteria:

  • life-threatening traumatic injury (immediate treatment is necessary)
  • Underage
  • Known pregnancy

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.
