Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of a mathematical model for ultrasound assessment of gastric volume by gastroscopic examination.
Anahi Perlas,Nicholas Mitsakakis,Louis Liu,Maria Cino,Nidhi Haldipur,Liisa Davis,Javier Cubillos,Vincent W. S. Chan +7 more
TL;DR: A new prediction model to assess gastric fluid volume using standard 2-dimentional bedside ultrasound that has several advantages over previously reported models is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bedside ultrasound assessment of gastric content: an observational study
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a qualitative description of the sonographic characteristics of the gastric antrum when the stomach is empty and following the ingestion of clear fluid, milk, and solid content.
Journal ArticleDOI
An algorithm to reduce the incidence of false-negative FAST∗ examinations in patients at high risk for occult injury
Robert B. Ballard,Grace S. Rozycki,Paul G. Newman,Javier Cubillos,Jeffrey P. Salomone,Walter L. Ingram,David V. Feliciano +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Focused Assessment for the Sonographic Examination of the Trauma patient (FAST) sequentially surveys for the presence or absence of blood in dependent abdominal regions including the right upper quadrant, left upper quadrants, and the pelvis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Erector spinae plane block for postoperative analgesia in pediatric oncological thoracic surgery.
TL;DR: The ESP block is a novel technique in which local anesthetic is deposited in the fascial plane deep to the erector spinae muscle and superficial to the tip of the transverse process, achieving extensive multi-dermatomal sensory block of the posterior, lateral, and anterior thoracic wall.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anesthesiologists’ learning curves for bedside qualitative ultrasound assessment of gastric content: a cohort study
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the amount of training an anesthesiologist would need to achieve competence in the bed-side ultrasound technique for qualitative assessment of gastric content, and the average number of cases required to achieve 90% and 95% success rates was estimated to be 24 and 33, respectively.
