This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is investigating how pregnancy and diabetes together affect how quickly the stomach empties—a process that matters for patient safety during anesthesia for cesarean delivery. Researchers will use ultrasound imaging to measure stomach contents in two groups of pregnant women (those with diabetes and those without) after they drink a small amount of water two hours before surgery, which follows standard anesthesia guidelines.
During surgery under anesthesia, there is a rare but serious risk that stomach contents can be accidentally inhaled into the lungs. Pregnancy already slows stomach emptying, and diabetes may slow it down even more. This study aims to understand whether the current guidelines for preoperative clear fluid intake are safe for pregnant women with diabetes.
You will visit the hospital before your scheduled cesarean delivery. A doctor will perform an ultrasound of your stomach to measure its contents, then you will drink 200 ml (about 7 ounces) of water. Two hours later, another ultrasound will be performed to see how much the stomach has emptied. The ultrasounds are painless and similar to those used during pregnancy monitoring.
