Study Summary
Preoperative fasting guidelines for anesthesia recommend waiting two hours after ingesting a clear liquid and six hours after ingesting a light meal. Due to the presence of pulp, orange juice is considered a light meal by current guidelines which means a patient must wait six hours before undergoing general anesthesia. This study will use ultrasound of stomach of healthy volunteers to determine if the presence of pulp actually increases the transit time for orange juice.
Primary Outcome
Two hours after orange juice (with and without pulp) is consumed, point of care gastric ultrasound will be used to assess gastric contents and gastric volume
Interventions
- OTHER Point of care gastric ultrasound
