Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to find out how common high-risk gastric contents are in women admitted for childbirth and when ultrasound assessments would be most useful.* ! -
- Out of 1003 women analyzed, about 70% had high-risk gastric contents if they were in spontaneous labor, and 65% in the total group.* ! -
- Key findings indicated that shorter fasting times (less than 8 hours) led to higher occurrences of high-risk contents, suggesting that ultrasound could be most beneficial when fasting lasts 8 hours or more.* !
Background: The estimation of gastric content in third trimester pregnant women has already been studied, conclusions remain contradictory. The aim of this study was to compare gastric content in pregnant and non-pregnant women using gastric ultrasound. We performed an observational two-center study of women scheduled for a cesarean section (CS group) and of non-pregnant women scheduled for hysteroscopy (HS group).

Many p38 inhibitors have been developed and shown to provide effective analgesia in animal models. They are, however, mainly administered intrathecally or intravenously.

Most visceral peritoneum sensory information is conveyed via the vagus nerve to the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS). We already showed in animal models that intramuscular (i.

The intra-uterine tamponade balloon is a potential alternative, well documented after vaginal delivery. However, available data on its use after cesarean delivery remain scarce.

Methods: Measurements were obtained when the attending anesthesiologist decided to perform a fluid challenge. Correlations with linear regression, Bland-Altman analysis, and analysis of covariance were performed.
