Gastric POCUS & Sedation

Delia and Lianne discuss the use of gastric ultrasound in pediatric sedation, highlighting the challenges of fasting and assessing gastric content. They explore the benefits and limitations of using Point-of-Care Ultrasound to categorize patients based on gastric content volume. The study reveals the weak predictive value of fasting duration in determining sedation risk categories and emphasizes the importance of gastric ultrasound in high-risk patients.
